Biribi is a 1971 French anti-war film directed by Daniel Moosmann.
action
1883: Orphaned and without friends, the young Jean Froissard volunteers for the French army. Unable to endure the discipline, he is brought before the council of war. He is sentenced to go to North Africa with a battalion, to Biribi, as the vernacular calls it. There he suffers oppression, injustice and abuse by the officers. When he finally escapes to freedom, the broken Jean becomes a thief.
background
After smuggling the music for Z (1969) out of the country, Mikis Theodorakis wrote the score for Biribi after his release from prison of the Greek military junta.
criticism
The Lexicon of International Films ruled that the production was the "[h] arte film adaptation of an autobiographical novel by Georges Darien published in 1888 : a critical demonstration of sadism and brutality."
