About This Movie

So, 'Regards D'en Face - Alger' feels like this intimate exploration of Algiers through the eyes of architect Jean-Jacques Deluz. You really get a sense of his connection to the city, which he's called home since 1960, even after a brief escape from the chaos of terrorism. The way the film moves from the historic Casbah to the modernity of Maelma is pretty striking. It captures the layers of architecture and memory, and honestly, there's a reflective tone that pulls you in. It’s not just a visual journey; there's an emotional resonance that plays out, with the city's past and present almost having a conversation. Deluz’s insights on design and space are fascinating, making it a thoughtful piece on urban identity.
