Unravelling The Cinematic Complexity Of Post-colonial Algeria: A Narrative Analysis Of Lyes Salem’s "l'oranais" (2014)
Authors : Messaoudi Merwan .
Abstract
The film "L'Oranais" (2014) directed by Lyes Salem skilfully mixes cinematography and narrative methods to dive into the difficulties of post-colonial Algeria. Through a multidimensional narrative technique and non-linear storytelling, the movie tackles issues of identity, colonialism, and resistance. Characters like ‘Said’ symbolise the quest for belonging amidst the tumult of independence, as the shadows of colonial tyranny deeply impact the socio-political setting. In this movie, cinematography plays a key part in character development, successfully expressing symbolism and themes via visual metaphors. With its precise attention to detail and comprehensive exploration of history, "L'Oranais" creates a powerful impression, compelling spectators to examine the persistent legacy of tyranny and the irrepressible endurance of the human spirit.
