Purely Joyful Movie!
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
View MoreKhaled Youssef, the director that worked with Chahine since early 1990s, has do nothing but reproducing the famous work of Chaine which was released in early 1990s. Originally a biblical story, Khaled Youssef adopts the traditional narrative, acts, and symbols that Chahine used in his movie. Frankly I can't continue watching Khaled Youssef movies as my mind used to recall Chahine's movies during the watching. He always tries to be Chahine II, but unfortunately Chaine has gone without giving the keys of his talent to Khaled! Nowadays, Mr. Khaled said that his movie was a prophecy of Egyptian Revolution, I wonder how he said the comment, the end of his movie refers to the collapse of the Egyptian Society, not to his great revolution.
