Cairo as Told by Youssef Chahine

Youssef Chahine · 23 min · France

Documentary

This concise masterpiece began as a commission by French TV for the news series Envoyé spécial. By filming Cairo with his unique sense of artistic digression, Chahine transformed this portrait of a city into the self-portrait of a filmmaker.
