WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN
Today's film was
Two things about this film. Patricia Clarkson and Alexander Siddig. A third thing. Beautiful scenes of Cairo. A fantasy post card. No dirt. No crowds at the pyramids. Nothing but beauty.
Visiting Clarkson is stuck as her husband has emergency UN duty in Gaza. Siddig, an old friend of the husband, helps out as she waits, stranded.
In the early scenes of this film, the culture shock is palpable. I don't know how this is conveyed exactly but I could feel it. I have had it and know it when I see it.
Slowly, the two people get to know each other and Cairo. And, probably, themselves.
It is a nice moving film that has a delicacy about it which is very attractive.
I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
