A BAD FILM

Went today to watch Adel Imam's newest movie " Al-Sefara fee El 3emara" or in English, the "embassy in the building"... The movie is about an Egyptian living in the UAE and his return to Egypt to find that the Israeli Embassy has taken up space in the building where he was brought up and where he was planning to live...

The film is a bad comedy...all the comedy is based on the main character's uncontrollable lust for any and every woman...The film is also bad in terms of its attempt at sending a message to the government about the speeding normalisation with Israel, there is its very exaggerated and uses a series of events that do not come across in the one bit realistic...

You should still go and watch it to experience how a strong message (regardless of if you agree with it or not) can be distorted by amateurish artistic expression...

Was starting to think again that the Egyptian film industry was improving after I watched "Malaky Iskenderia" or "Prive Alex"...now I am having my doubts again...its the industry of lets satsify the masses...
