Human Being (1994)
Sudanese filmmaker Ibrahim Shaddad provides a dramatic and powerful account of the trials and tribulations of a Sudanese villager in a large alien city. Shot entirely without dialogue, the film's innovative use of sound helps tell the story of a shepherd who leaves his wife and herd to settle in a nearby town. Since its premiere at the Alexandria Film Festival, Human Being (إنسان / Insan) has been shown in a number of festivals in the Middle East and Europe. This film is a prime example of experimental Arab cinema.

Highly Overrated But Still Good
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
