The biblical tale of Joseph is told from an Egyptian perspective in this interesting character study. In this film, Joseph is called Ram. Ram, tired of his family's backward superstitious life, and tired of being picked on by his brothers, wants to go to Egypt to study agriculture. His brothers travel with him across Sinai, but then suddenly sell him to Ozir, an Egyptian who works for a Theban military leader, Amihar. Amihar is impressed by Ram's drive and personal charm and so grants Ram some desolate land outside the capital. Ram soon finds himself a pawn in the political and sexual games between Amihar and his wife Simihit, a high priestess of the Cult of Amun.

Yehia Eskendarany / Marc Antoine / Sostratus / Hephaestion
Set in 1987 against the backdrop of a hunger strike by the Egyptian film industry, Chahine himself steps in to play Yehia, the famed Egyptian director whose life is chronicled in "Alexandria, Why?" and "An Egyptian Story". Obsessed with Amr, the handsome actor he discovered and cast as his alter-ego in parts one and two of The Alexandria Trilogy, Yehia pressures Amr to star in various film projects that change even as Yehia's perception of the young actor begins to change. He first casts Amr as Hamlet, which the actor deems too demanding for his talents, then as the lead in a musical biopic of demigod Alexander the Great, who founded the city of Alexandria in 332 B.C.

After we last see him in "Alexandria, Why?" Egyptian filmmaker Yehia Mourad is in his thirties, and successful in his work, he has grown distant from his wife and children and suffers a symbolic blockage of the heart while shooting the final scenes of his latest film. After being flown to England for evaluation, it's determined that Yehia must undergo emergency surgery. Fact and fiction blend seamlessly—with healthy doses of cleverly absurdist fantasy—as the film explores the various personalities and forces that have made Yehia (and Youssef Chahine) the man he has become.

Широкоформатный фильм. Первая советско-арабская картина. Это первая попытка показать средствами киноискусства образы людей, принимавших участие в создании Асуанской плотины. Герои фильма - советские и египетские рабочие, инженеры и техники, которые, как и их прототипы, плечом к плечу трудятся, вместе переживая горечь неудач и радость побед. Съемки велись в Александрии, Каире и Асуане. Большую помощь оказали советские люди, работающие в Объединенной Арабской Республике, особенно специалисты в Асуане. Многие рабочие и инженеры охотно снимались в массовых сценах и даже играли эпизодические роли. Постановку осуществил известный арабский режиссер Юсеф Шахин ("Борьба в долине", "Люди в порту", "Железные ворота", "Заря нового дня" и др.). Снимались арабские артисты - Салах Зуль-Факкар, Сэфэльдин (инженер Саад) и др.

One day the mayor (Nasri Shamseddine) tells the villagers that Rajeh is heading to the village itself and they better be careful. Two smart men notice that the mayor was lying and that it is all his imagination. So they go on making good on the fictitious person and steal money and assault the mayor in the dark saying that they were Rajeh. Eventually, an old man with the name of Rajeh arrives in the village, amid public fears. Then it became obvious that Rajeh was merely a seller of rings for weddings and he wanted to marry his son to Fairuz the nephew of the mayor. The two bad guys willingly go to jail for making use of the mayor's joke.

Экранизация книги Ю. Ас-Сабаи. Масштабное полотно, освещающее борьбу вокруг Святого Города Иерусалима в XII веке, во время Третьего крестового похода (1189—1192 г.г), с позиций идеологии ислама и панарабизма. Знаменитый султан Салахуддин показан как идеальный правитель, а его воины – смелые и благородные люди, в то время, как крестоносцы – слабые духом, корыстолюбивые сластолюбцы, коварные авантюристы нарушающие договорённости. Третий крестовый поход изображается как нашествие алчных завоевателей (что близко к реальности), а их победы исключительно многочисленностью и изменой отщепенцев, подкупленных христианами. Впрочем, Ричард Львиное Сердце, предводитель неверных, обрисован вполне с положительной стороны, хотя у него нет сторонников, даже его лучший друг предал его.
