French WW2 movie involving Muslims?

Question

I wanted to know name of it...All I remember is it was ww2 movie I think kind of recent (maybe 2000s) it was in French and I believe had famous French actors. The director was also famous and his name started with a J and it was one name like Cher or Madonna. It had to do with battle in Africa I believe.

Any help is appreciated thanks!
