One of the FLN leaders is said to have committed suicide in his cell.
In the film it is unclear if he really hung himself or if it is a story made-up by the military to justify his murder.

Kids are used in the war, but mostly as messengers.

The war relies on spying, which includes breaking people's privacy, even when they are not aware of it.

Specifically toward the end. Water torture, many forms of restraint, gas-flame being used on someone's torso, electrocution. All are shown on screen in a montage, no audio. The production value is low enough and without audio you can maintain suspension of disbelief.

People are stabbed, one is executed with a guillotine but we don't see the cut.

Some of those who are tortured spit blood. One of them is electrified and starts drooling.

One is shown, briefly. There's even an intubated person. Do people really paid attention to the movie?

There's a shakey cam in several scenes, especially during movement/transition scenes, I don't know why people are voting "no"
