Film Review: Oscar-Nominated ‘Outside the Law’ Makes Revolution Personal
Submitted by BrianTT on March 25, 2011 - 12:09pmRating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Rachid Bouchareb’s “Outside the Law” paints a vivid family portrait of a trio of brothers at the forefront of a violent, impassioned time in France as the country was trying to stop a revolution in Algeria and dealing with the violence that brought to their home country. With a story that spans decades, “Outside the Law” is sometimes a bit too episodic and stuffed with history to register emotionally but the three central performances carry the piece overall.
