Roh's Beauty (2014) User Reviews

Degrading and demeaning

[info-00772 · 2/10 · 30 January 2020]

This movie is a disgusting glorified rape scene. There is no meaning to it. Simply a beautiful woman who is extremley demure, being attacked by ruffians and cursed by the neighbourhood women. She is living in hell! There are some touching moments when a young boy and a blind man try to protect her. But the film does not need to show the violence of her attack. This is disgraceful violence against women which the fim makers are glamourising.

Degrades woman

His movie was all about degrading a woman then rapping her that's it. There's no story at all it's literally a movie about rapping a woman, the end was she got rapped story over.

I liked it you might not...

You can't find something worth praising unless you want it to be. I didn't like the film from the beginning. I caught it to be the not so good version of Malena (2000). Though the solid performance by Heifa Wehbi Impressed me but my mind wasn't ready to like the entire film. Climax hit me hard and I started to notice the film this time but with great interest. At the end of film, I had my eyes filled with warm water and rating it 8/10 or 5/5 for foreign rating system. This film, is complete and perfect in many cases. Egyptian cinema did deliver an artistic masterpiece which sadly was ignored by many.

Excellent Film!

The Excellent Egyptians do not hold back on what really happens with the infiltration of the Mafia and how it ruins women, the family, the children, the fathers, and the neighborhood, but, more importantly the soul: even the title, "Rouh's Beauty" reflects this theme. Rouh means soul in Arabic. Parallel instances occur even in America - under the guise of hidden institutionalized rape - within the churches, governments, even between countries, states, cities, and families. Let's not kid ourselves: America does indeed reflect these immoral qualities. This film speaks the Truth as ugly as it is. The ending scene, as the Raped Roh walks through the prejudicial streets among the demonic taunts of the "blinded women" who have become "prostitutes" as well, she retains her beauty, clarity and purity, even though she is defiled by them all. Egypt has a way of possessing simultaneous dual conflicts, which are clear to one's naked eye and soul: It is beautiful and ugly in the same moment - it is dirty and clean at the same moment - contradictions that share equal space in time, as if they are one in the same, without contraction. One senses the verification of these incongruities the minute your foot sets upon the land within a mystifying love that fills the air. The character of the real blind man sums it up succinctly, "The darkness holds me back in protecting you, Roh." Excellent acting for the entire cast... Excellent Egyptian Film.

He totally dislikes...

Grotesque, not the film, but the standardization of certain behaviors, which is probably cultural, like the armed scene of the betrayal, and almost lynching of the victim, disgusting, exposed cultural and structural ailments, our roof is also made of glass, which we cannot is to standardize such offensive acts... The little boy is one of the few who has character in this film, disgusting men and even submissive women and zero sorority, he totally dislikes...
