The Asphalt Kings

A raucous and amazingly irreverent look at contemporary Cairo, THE ASPHALT KING centers on Sayed, a swaggering cabdriver and (to his mind) born womanizer. Embroiled in a torrid affair with a buxom neighbor, Sayed pays his best friend Ringo to keep the neighbor's barber husband busy -- but the husband, as well as Ringo, Sayed's mother, father, sister and grandfather, have their own amorous intrigues brewing. Director Oussama Fawzi has been hailed as the brightest young director to have recently emerged in Egyptian cinema.
O Camponês Eloquente
Art Direction
Baseado em um dos principais textos literários sobreviventes do Império do Meio, o período clássico da literatura egípcia, O Camponês Eloquente é uma combinação de um conto moral / folclórico e um poema. Os eventos acontecem entre 2160 e 2025 AC. Quando o camponês Khun-anup e seu burro tropeçam nas terras do nobre Rensi, os bens do camponês são confiscados e ele é injustamente acusado de roubo. O camponês pede a Rensi, que fica tão impressionado com a eloqüência do camponês que relata sua surpreendente descoberta ao rei. O rei percebe que o camponês foi injustiçado, mas retarda o julgamento para que possa ouvir mais de sua eloqüência. O camponês faz um total de nove petições até que finalmente seus bens são devolvidos.
