Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
The kidnapping and assassination of Moroccan political activist Mehdi Ben Barka, fictionalized in Yves Boisset’s L’Attentat in 1972, gets a more historically accurate treatment in Serge Le Péron and Saïd Smihi’s noirish docudrama, the tabloid-headline-titled I Saw Ben Barka Get Killed.
