IN THE LAST DAYS OF THE CITY / TAMER EL SAID

IN THE LAST DAYS OF THE CITY / TAMER EL SAID

feature film, 118 min, 2016

This film within a film is a haunting, lyrical chronicle of recent years in the Arab world, where revolutions seemed to spark hope for change and yield further instability in one stroke.

“ A city requiem rather than a city symphony, Tamer El Said's film offers a plangent, multilayered dirge to the sensory overload of Cairo and the way it has irrevocably changed.” Variety by Jay Weissberg
