Great movie

A great film among the ancient Egyptian works of art, and after this work and this time, there is no film of this artistic power again.

principles & reality in a conflict

el ard , by yossef chahine is a masterpiece of egyptian cinema.. as it deals with a very egyptien dilemma that you won't find such conflict in any other country !

Egyptian movies at their best

Perhaps this is the best Egyptian movie of all time , and before chahine started to write his own script from where it all went down hill.the acting is superb specially Elmelliguy and Yehia Chahine, they are very believable but all thanks to the original novel.a recommended movie for all.

Just saw it tonight at the Cinémathèque de Paris, for the second time after more than 30 years, and found it utterly magnificient politically wise and cinema wise from the first image to the very last

Perfect

One of the greatest Egyptian movies . I loved the music working along side with brilliant cinematography which included a brand new locations chosen professionally from the Egyptian countryside. The ending is just completion of such a brilliant and professional picture.
