doomed by the narrative!! the poisonous nature of symbols of power!! the toxicity of the ever controlling state!! innocence vs authoritarianism!! going right back to where you started but having borne witness to the world nothing will ever look or feel the same!!! no pure soul remains untouched when it brushes against greedy bastions of control!!! doomed from the moment he left home and forever haunted by it!!!!!

Cairo Conspiracy

Cairo Conspiracy    [trailer]

The son of a fisherman is offered the privilege to study at the Al-Azhar University in Cairo, the center of power of Sunni Islam. He becomes a pawn in the conflict between Egypt's religious and political elites.

While I recognised the pictures and posters of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi everywhere, I don't know enough details about this world to judge how real this conflict is.

But that didn't keep me from enjoying this tense political thriller. It's not as epic as A Prophet, but that movie can be used as a reference point. And this one has a more unusual setting.

I continue to enjoy following the career development of Fares Fares.

Byrd: Why’re you scared of water? Levi: I’m not. Byrd: There must be a reason. Levi: Why is anyone scared of anything? Like why are you scared of the dark, or why is Wren scared of blood n’ stuff? Wren: ‘Cause it’s gross and no one’s supposed to bleed, swimming is fun. Byrd: I guess you could drown if you couldn’t swim or whatever. Levi: I think it started when I was a kid n’ almost drowned in the bath. Byrd: How? Levi: I don’t know, my mom was probably being shit-.. I barely remember. Byrd: Enough to be scared though. Levi: Apparently. [Byrd floated aimlessly on his back for a moment, thoughtfully peering at the clouds] Byrd: Dad says you’re supposed to do stuff you’re scared of or it gets worse, like he’s always turning the lights out on me or shoving our cuts n’ bruises in Wren’s face-.. in a nice way though, y’know? Levi: Is it working? Wren: Kinda. Byrd: Why don’t you just stick a foot in? Levi: No thanks. Byrd: C’mon, no one’s gonna shove you. Levi: Nope. Byrd: Pfft. Oscar: Christ, Byrd.. what the hell are you doing in there?! That cast is gonna stink. Byrd: Oh-.. oops. Oscar: Get out and put it in the sun! Oscar: Now. Byrd: I’m cominG-.. it’s getting chopped off soon anyway, right? Oscar: Yeah, and the poor doctor’s gonna pass out from your stank.
