Meaingful silences

This film grew on me; the acting is excellent throughout, and the most telling moments are when nothing is said, when the character recognizes the significance of the situation itself. AC's conflicts between the dual modes of Love, the one thru the love of a soul-mate, of one who touches her inner person; the other the sexual, natural one. And Ac's many conflicts over his relationships to the Native and the French Algierians, and to the Common and Educated (Bourgeois?) man, and how to reconcile them. A good introduction to the character.
One negative - the subtitles still leave a lot to be desired, cutting awkwardly and not aligning with the English phrases. I had to pause and rewind many times.
