How Much I Love You is a fascinating documentary that dives deep into the complex history of Algeria under French colonial rule. The film opens with this almost jarring promotional piece that tries to sell the idea of farming investments, which feels so distant from the grim reality that unfolds. Then it transitions to these haunting archival clips of nuclear tests from the 1950s, using Algerian prisoners as the backdrop. The juxtaposition is striking, and you can really feel the weight of history pressing down. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the viewer to absorb the gravity of the content. Meddour’s editing choices create a somber tone that resonates long after the credits roll. It's a unique lens on colonialism and the manipulation of narratives, worth pondering.
