 could have been much better July 27, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
In the end i felt this film would have been much stronger and thought provoking than it actualy was. Sure it's beautifully shot but skips around the details of the war in Algeria itself. We never really get inside the mind's of the small platoon of soldiers and my biggest complaint was the characterization of the film's main figures especially in the final 30 mins. Check out "Days of glory" which is a much better film. However the dvd extras are quite impressive.
 As good as Platoon July 18, 2008

This engaging film is based on a novel by Patrick Rotman. Intimate Enemies (L'Ennemi Intime) is the powerful appealing story of a young soldier's coming-of-age during the French/Algerian War at the end of the 1950's.
The quite young and idealistic professional soldier, Lt. Terrien (Benoit Magimel), volunteers to serve in a war fought mostly by conscripts. He is posted to a remote, and beautiful, mountain territory, taking command over a platoon run by the cynical and much more experienced sergeant Dougnac (Albert Dopontel). Their differences combine with the harsh realities of the battlefield and this drives the two men to breaking point.
The production is absolutely stunning, underscored with beautifully haunting music (also available on CD and recommended). Several spectacular battle sequences highlight the picture but they only serve to make the story more intimate, thus the complexities of characters and their roles during this dark moment in French history can be brought to the fore.
