Sheherezade Tell Me a Story

Egypt

Nice idea for a film. Women's stories featured for a popular television show re-create stories from the classic compilation and illustrate the unchanging problems in Arab society. Smooth, modern production with good music, imaginative camera work/staging. The lead wore too much makeup but easily carried her role.

At first I found it a bit corny but the sincerity and intensity of the stories told pulled me in and it ended being quite emotionally satisfying.

Nice work.
