Ibrahim El Batout
Feature Film | Egypt | 2010 | 112 min.
Inspired by the alternative cinema of Goddard, Vertov and Kiarostami, the story follows the journey of Youssef, a prisoner released after five years of solitary confinement in order to fetch a sheath of important documents, with a number of seemingly unconnected subplots concerning a group of aspiring songwriters, a satellite TV executive searching for a show host, an elderly juggler leading his sickly old horse through the city streets, and so on. What might have been a straight-ahead story with predictable scenes becomes an organic study of Alexandria, a closer view of so-called reality and the lives of everyday people.
