Add to a movie listAlger insolite (Tahia ya Didou !) est un film algérien réalisé par Mohamed Zinet, sorti en 1971.
Synopsis
Mélange d'images d'archives et de scènes de fiction, "Tahia Ya Didou" est un hommage à la ville d'Alger, qui est à l'origine du projet. Au hasard des promenades et des rencontres, Simon et sa femme, un couple de touristes français, découvrent Alger. Simon reconnaît dans un bistrot un Algérien qu'il a autrefois torturé. L'homme le fixe. Pris de panique, Simon s'enfuit. "Tahia Ya Didou" est l'unique film du comédien Mohamed Zinet. Né d'une commande de la ville d'Alger, qui attendait qu'il soit un documentaire touristique, il ne fut pas du goût des autorités et il n'y eut aucune sortie en salles. Devenu malgré tout un film culte, "Tahia Ya Didou" est bien plus qu'un documentaire promotionnel. Hommage à la ville d'Alger, à ses habitants, il est doté d'un ton inclassable, cohabitation de comique burlesque et de tragiques réminiscences du passé douloureux du pays. La comédie restaurée et numérisée en 2016, figure parmi les plus grands succès du cinéma algérien.Actors

The film plot takes its starting point from the French play The Human Voice (La Voix humaine, 1930) by Jean Cocteau where a desperate woman tries to avoid being dumped by her lover through a series of phone calls. In the film TV actress Pepa Marcos (Carmen Maura) is depressed and taking sleeping pills because her boyfriend Iván (Fernando Guillén) has just left her. Both she and Iván work as voice-over actors who dub foreign films, notably Johnny Guitar with Joan Crawford and Sterling Hayden. The voice he uses to sweet-talk her (and many other women) is the same one he uses in his work. He is about to leave on a trip and has asked Pepa to pack his things in a suitcase that he will pick up later.
