"The Other"
1999
Directed by Youssef Chahine

Chahine wraps a love story into this bitter portrait of the Egyptian business world, while also touching on the links between power and fanaticism and globalization and terrorism. Adam, the son of a rich Egyptian businessman, falls in love with a journalist investigating the corrupt and wealthy elite, of which Adam's parents are deeply involved. When Adam turns against his family, his resistance comes at a heavy price for himself and his new love. "...a sweeping melodrama with a startlingly ecumenical vision" (J. Hoberman, The Village Voice). Arabic and French with English subtitles. Egypt.  106 minutes.
