Kateb Yacine, le rebelle amoureux
1994
Belgium; France
45 minutes
French
The writer, Kateb Yacine talks about his works and the ideas which formed the mainspring of his life. The images he recalls-and shuffles like a pack of cards-provide us with the keys to his singular existence. No-one else could better draw the portrait of an Algeria searching for its memory and history. So that, as in The Garden amongst the Flames, Nedjma, the symbol of woman and the mother country, can be reborn… herein lies the keystone to the writer’s lifework and the throughline of the film.
