lost in translation


Nice movie left me with a good relaxing feeling. The first half an hour the movie reminded me a lot of lost in translation but at the end unfortunately the story/plot is too weak compared with the other movie. I must say as Egyptian I was so nervous how my city has been shown or presented in a festival movie. After watching it I wondered why the main role (Tareq’s character) was not playing by an Egyptian actor? It seems that the Gaza bus story was pushed in the middle of the movie (pointless) … and also it is very rare to find men staring or getting too close to foreign women like this. I just watch the movie two days ago but defiantly I will recommended

GOOD comparison, msbassyouny.

Yeah, this film was a "mood piece" in much the same way that the film you cited was. I also saw LIT and loved it, as well.


The more Ken Loach films I try to see, the more I think they need subtitles!
