This week, we discuss two films that delve into the complex dynamics of political ideology and revolution in the 1960s. The first is The Battle of Algiers (1966), an Italian-Algerian war film co-written and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo. It is based on action undertaken by rebels during the Algerian War (1954–1962) against the French government in North Africa, the most prominent being the eponymous Battle of Algiers. The second is La Chinoise (1967), a French political docufiction film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard about a group of young Maoist activists in Paris. La Chinoise is a loose adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's 1872 novel Demons (also known as The Possessed).   Timestamps What we’ve been watching (00:01:03) –  Midsommar, Hereditary, The Revenge of Frankenstein The Battle of Algiers (00:15:20) La Chinoise (00:43:15) Coin toss (01:09:10)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-t**s mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com
