Abstract | Based on the 1957 novella, L'Hôte (The Guest), by Albert Camus, David Oelhoefen directs this story the story of two men on opposite sides of the Algerian War (1954–62) who find common ground. Daru, an Algerian-born French teacher of Spanish descent, (Viggo Mortensen), escorts Mohamed (Reda Kateb), a peasant accused of the murder of his cousin, through the Atlas Mountains during a harsh winter to hand him over to the French authorities as the Algerian War of Independence ignites. The two end up banding together to fight off villagers and colonists who have pursued them. |
