The Yacoubian Building, The Film
Posted in Journal on Mar 9th, 2008
Stunning. Long, but rather beautifully crafted and just as charming as the novel. The credit must go in part to Adel Imam, who plays the part of the dissolute, aging Pasha masterfully. Downtown Cairo is almost a characterful itself, and the aerial, loving shots of its faded, elegant streets and maidans are striking.
