Program Note
It is election season for the Grand Imam (the highest authority of Sunni Islamic
jurisprudence) and the politicians in Cairo want to make sure that their chosen
candidate is elected. Their new pawn in this power game is Adam, the son of
a fisherman who recently received a state scholarship to study at the most
prestigious university of Egypt. Before long, Adam is thrust into a precarious
quagmire of power dynamics. The script, which won Tarik Saleh Best
Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, is crammed with complicated
plots. While the story and the way it is revealed may seem conventional, the
world it is set in is not as familiar and our protagonist is anything but proficient,
so tension builds as Adam gets closer to the unknown step by step. The most
interesting character of the film would be Colonel Ibrahim, whose scruffy looks
belie that this antihero has survived through multiple political upheavals and
numerous rulers. The glorious visuals of the mosque (that were actually shot in
Istanbul) do justice to the big screen. (Karen PARK)
