Deep & Moving!

Not since Youssef Chahine's masterpieces was there any Egyptian movies with such perfection! It's a shame! Yeah, But that's the truth! Anyway, 2009 is very promising with "One-Zero" as a start. A well knitted very complicated story about 8 characters living in the modern Cairo, suffering from it's corruption, religious taboos , hypocrisy & repression. 8 with very different backgrounds in a very stressful day & then connected with happiness in the end when Victory is achieved. An incredible story told with a unique style, although it kept reminding my of Inarritu's masterpiece "Babel" it's still a genuine Egyptian story. Two Thumbs Up!
