        El-Haram as presented in Cannes festival

        El-Haram, known in English as "The Sin" 1965. The movie describe the life of a poor women that loses her son, family and her life due to a brutal rap from a guard, but the society can't allow her to have a normal life after that, which after her death become one of the symbol of her village. The movie that was chosen as one of the five best movies ever made in Egypt.

        It was nominated in Cannes festival and was welcomed during the presentation by all critics and the audience. In 1965, the newspaper "Le Monde" wrote, we have attracted to this movie due to the true picture that reflects the suffering of this village, the picture is not about a problem for one individual, it's about the reflection of everything surround her, from people to culture. It was magnificent piece of work that we have not seen previously from Egyptian movies presented in this festival. Critic George Sadol in another newspaper emphasized same comment.

        In Egypt, some Egyptian critics believe it is the most important film in Egyptian cinema. It 's one special movie you should see for Faten Hamama and director Henry Barakat.

        The miserable world

        Believe me once you see these stories your absolute first idea that comes to your mind that you really don't have problems in your life .this film is a perfect description of slavery injustice . The fact that this is 60s movie makes it even harder to believe . This move is valid to watch through all time it is not just for the egyptian crowed but also for whole world to witness. The fact that this story not just a one accident that happened no that was a everyday routine for those poor workers . That feel of anger that u can't even express . Great acting writing direction what an absolute masterpiece.
