Full Plot Details

Algeria, 1943, through Italy and France, to Alsace in early 1945, with a coda years later. Arabs volunteer to fight Nazis to liberate France, their motherland. We follow Saïd, dirt poor, an orderly for a grizzled sergeant, Martinez, a pied noir with some willingness to speak up for his Arab troops; Messaoud, a crack shot, who in Province falls in love with a French woman who loves him back; and Abdelkader, a corporal, a budding intellectual with a keen sense of injustice. The men fight with courage against a backdrop of small and large indignities: French soldiers get better food, time for leave, and promotions. Is the promise of liberty, equality, and fraternity hollow?

Movie Reviews

TV Guide Magazine - 10/10 by Ken FoxOn the list of WWII stories criminally ignored by six decades of combat movies in the past 60 years, the heroics of French colonial soldiers ranks pretty high. But Rachid Bouchareb's powerful drama -- which won the 2006 Cannes Film Festival's best-actors award for its superb ensemble cast and was nominated for a best foreign-language-film Oscar, went a long way toward rectifying the situation, both on screen and in real life.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Stephanie ZacharekThis is a supreme example of how a filmmaker can make a work of fiction based on fact that, without didacticism or heavy-handed moralizing, leaves us feeling more connected not just with history but with what makes us human in the first place.
Wall Street Journal - 10/10 by Joe MorgensternThe ensemble cast shared the best-actor award at the 2006 Cannes film festival -- and rightly so.
USA Today - 9/10 by Claudia PuigNot only a stirring history lesson and an action-packed war film, Glory is also a ferocious statement about enduring discrimination that resounds today.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kenneth TuranAs directed by Rachid Bouchareb, himself born in France to Algerian immigrants, "Days of Glory" is a kind of a North African "Saving Private Ryan," a taut, involving film that delivers all the things we look for in war movies and does so with intelligence and integrity.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 9/10 by David EdelsteinIndigènes is a stupendous work--and why that new title stinks to heaven.
Rolling Stone - 9/10 by Peter TraversBouchareb's film helped shame the French government into raising pensions for more than 80,000 of these veterans. Here's that rare movie that really did change things. I'll be damned.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Louis ProyectPowerful tale of African soldiers fighting Nazis and the racism of their French officers.
San Diego Union-Tribune - 9/10 by David ElliottWe can pretty well guess some coming deaths, but the combat for a tiny Alsatian town is vividly done.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael WilmingtonIts social impact is part of what makes this movie memorable. But as with almost any exceptional, truthful war picture, Days of Glory moves us because we know the soldiers -- because we share their fear, triumph and pain.
