An Egyptian Story. Genre: Drama, Fantasy. Director: Youssef Chahine. Cast: Nour El-Sherif, Yousra, Soheir El-Bably, Magda El Khatib, Mahmood Al-Meleji. Release Date: 1982-09-27. Runtime: 120 minutes. Rating: 6.5/10. After we last see him in "Alexandria, Why?" Egyptian filmmaker Yehia Mourad is in his thirties, and successful in his work, he has grown distant from his wife and children and suffers a symbolic blockage of the heart while shooting the final scenes of his latest film. After being flown to England for evaluation, it's determined that Yehia must undergo emergency surgery. Fact and fiction blend seamlessly—with healthy doses of cleverly absurdist fantasy—as the film explores the various personalities and forces that have made Yehia (and Youssef Chahine) the man he has become.
