It is a new and overwhelming approach. “The Last Queen” shows for the first time on the big screen the history of Algeria in the 16th century. Co-written and co-directed by Adila Bendimerad and Damien Ounouri, this courageous film around the Battle of Algiers in 1516 has the ambition of “a historical, cultural, cinematographic reconquest” in the service of the liberating history of this country often reduced to the colonial or postcolonial era. Interview with Adila Bendimerad who embodies Queen Zaphira with great aplomb and a disarming naturalness.
