Best movie of this year hands down!
Sorry, this movie sucks
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Khaled 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.
