Filmmaker Youssef Chahine shows how he created some of his films, including "Alexandria, Why?" and "La Terre."

Richard Brody

The New Yorker

It's a romantic melodrama and a riotous comedy, a political drama, a memory piece, and a work of self-referentiality set in the milieu of Egyptian filmmaking, all held together by a passion for Shakespeare.

While it’s a serious portrait of art, politics, and aesthetic inspiration, it’s also a deliriously playful film full of fantasies played out like Hollywood movies.

It is a zesty film adopting many different themes and styles, from Gene Kelly dance numbers to Fellini fantasy scenes.
