Kirpianuscus a large puzzle. the romance as the picture. but each piece has its splendid traits and flavors and sparkles and mysteries. and this does Cairo Time almost an experience.because beauty is present in each scene. the details of Cairo. the chemistry between the lead characters. the impression, who grows up than Patricia Clarkson and Alexander Siddig are the perfect choice for a story who has as basic virtue the delicate and precise exploration of nuances. it is not the classic love story. slow and almost a jewels shop, touching and profound, portrait of a professional relation who becomes more, drop by drop, it has a not ordinary art to be a trip, a kind of sociological documentary, an embroidery of small gestures, silence and looks, a subtle definition of life's authentic taste and run, frustrations, expectations of a workaholic, a film about freedom at the mature age and the change of perception about reality, an inspired homage to a land, with its voices, lights, events and vulnerabilities. it is different and surprising. because it is a delicate subject and the art of director to do a beautiful story to become convincing and touching is real admirable.

skinnybert An example of concept triumphing over delivery. Ruba Nadda has a lot she wants to say, but only raises signposts towards those ideas without really exploring any of them. Best moment: Alec Siddig acknowledging Patricia's superiority in a game of chess ... which, like everything else in this film, goes unresolved.Otherwise: Banal dialog, many loose threads, and an annoyingly empty protagonist make this a 90-minute wait where not much really happens. Banal dialog? 50% of Patricia's dialog consists of "I'm fine", "Yes, "No", OK" etc. "I'm fine" alone is said some dozen times or more. Loose threads? One example, of many: she spends a day with a girlfriend who characterizes all Arabic men as possessive in relationships ... a theme never developed or returned to. Neither is the friend; she simply disappears, as do all characters besides Siddig's.Here's a tip for Americans traveling abroad: when armed soldiers stop your bus, and the person sitting next to you -- who you only just met -- frantically pushes an envelope into your possession, it's probably very dangerous to accept it. Does she? Is it? What will happen? Is this an Alfred Hitchcock film? Well, here's my "spoiler": Absolutely nothing in this film leads to anything. There are no causes, no consequences, no changes nor efforts to do so. No story. Beautifully filmed though. And you do get to see the Pyramids (and even climb them, which is not actually permitted in real life).6/10 for Alec Siddig, locations, photography.

filmalamosa A UN employee's wife Juliette finds herself alone in Cairo. An Egyptian Tareq who worked with her husband and is now retired and runs a coffee shop--shows her around the city. They become attracted to each other.This unlikely silly story provides a mechanism for showing a judiciously pretty upped Cairo. Since I had a big interest in Cairo this worked rather well for me.Ignore the story and watch the scenery. It all works the music is nice the acting and the story can be sublimated into something better than it is.As for the prettied up Cairo....it gives you a flavor of things so you want to see more.RECOMMEND as a Travelogue only

juliangaramendy A woman waits for her husband in Cairo. He meets a local, but nothing happens. The husband arrives. The End.Apparently you need to write 10 lines for a review to be considered, but nothing really happens in this film. Let's see what else I can talk about.It is very hot in Cairo in November. There are men only bars. Blonde women may be followed by local men. The pyramids seem to be at walking distance from central Cairo. No Egyptian wedding is complete without a dance.Oh, I know! NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS FILM!
