Directed by Tarik Saleh
A fisherman's son is offered the ultimate privilege to study at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the epicenter of power of Sunni Islam.

positive · AI labelView post →Autumn Sonata is by far the best movie I've seen this year, but not one I will rewatch anytime soon. Three much more positive movies to compensate for that. BU: Eagles of the Republic, The Nile Hilton Incident, Cairo Conspiracy, De Gaulle: Résistance,
neutral · AI labelView post →I think it would be a lot better if it were more self-indulgently focused on the film industry. What makes the Nile Hilton Incident and A Cairo Conspiracy brilliant is they aren’t afraid to be focused on one aspect of el-Sisi’s regime.

And also the 3rd film I watched of Saleh's Cairo Trilogy turns out to be excellent: think Conclave, but much darker and more Le Carré-like. Best screenplay at Cannes 2022. #filmsky #film #movie

neutral · AI labelView post →I've decided to watch a film. It's Cairo Conspiracy. It's well made but I've never liked films about an innocent led into trouble. It presses my buttons for some reason.

neutral · AI labelView post →Young fisherman "Adam" (Tawfeek Barhom) receives a letter that is going to change his life. He has been accepted into the prestigious Al-Azhar University and after an emotional farewell with his family he sets off to the hubbub of Cairo. Simultaneously, the Grand Imam dies. This is a very important event for the Sunni community, but it is also an highly significant one for the government too. The President makes it known through his National Security agency whom he wants to succeed to the role.…
positive · AI labelView post →I saw films in the Dublin International Film Festival. One of them featured people being battered by cops in Chile and another featured people being battered by prison officers in Spain. I also saw a weird 1970s Spanish horror film and one about Egyptian secret policemen trying to rig the election of a new Grand Imam. The one about the Spanish prison was the best, followed by the one about the Azhar university in Cairo. #CairoConspiracy #Modelo77 #films #DIFF…
