自由，夜 Liberté (1984)

"Liberté, la nuit, a title with a comma in the middle for a film divided in two parts. A film in black and white with a dark side and a jovial side. The first part of the title evokes politics, as the story recalls the days of the Algerian War of Independence; the second part represents the mood that hovers over the eminently painful images. There isn't even a hint of daylight in the freedom of the title. It only lives metaphorically in the darkness and languor of the night." -- description by Violeta Kovacsics in the book "Philippe Garrel: Filmmaking Revealed"
