The Guardian calls it "an unmissable film". Time Out concludes, "It's a strikingly controlled, confident, bitingly effective display, which leaves you wondering where this film has been all our lives." Empire Online says it "tackles heavy themes of modern life."
BBC closes with this:
With its tense score, contrasting performances of Chahine (twitchy and tightly coiled) and Rostom (sexy but cruel) and audacious moments of formal brilliance (Chahine even slots in a musical be-bop interlude from "Mike and the Skyrockets"), "Cairo Station" is a cinematic triumph.Rotten Tomatoes has a 100% score.

...well I missed it.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too late.
DeleteThis sounds like something Himself would like
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this one.
DeleteI will check this one out. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it.
DeleteIt sounds like something I would like because I often agree with Rotten Tomatoes. Sad that I only have cable which costs more than Netflix.
ReplyDeleteWe got rid of cable because of the lack of options and the internet access issues. We switched to AT&T for internet, which we'd had before and hated :( It's been fine this time around, though.
DeleteWow. 100% on rotten tomatoes is pretty amazing. I should check it out.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good movie. When _all_ the critics give it a good review I take special notice :)
DeleteThanks, I will see if I can watch it here! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI hope you can :)
DeleteShoot. I wonder when in Germany you can choose in which language you want to see a movie.
ReplyDeleteTranslations are often bad.
So all you can do is try and find a bloody DVD to buy and check first if the language you wish is available!
MY Brother gave me his set of Louis de Funès-movies and by golly, my French is not good anymore, LOL. So I speak of English only...
I can't even tell when translations are bad except sometimes with French when it's obvious to me they're translating the sense of the meaning and not a literal translation. It's frustrating to me to find movies that don't have English subtitles.
DeleteIt must be good with all the positive reviews it gets and it seems to have been banned in Egypt for 20 years, fascinating 😀. Take care! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI hadn't realized about the ban. It's interesting to see which books and movies are banned where and why. Thanks!
