Alexandria Again and Forever

Alexandria Again and Forever

1989, Movie, 1h 45min

The third installment in a series of four films Youssef Chahine made exploring his own life and times, ALEXANDRIA: AGAIN AND FOREVER stars the director himself as Yehia, a filmmaker whose planned HAMLET adaptation comes to a halt when his lead actor and muse Amr (Amr Abdul-Gelil), who may or may not be his lover, walks out on the project, launching him on a self-reflective journey through his artistic, political, and sexual worlds. Something like Chahine’s 8½, this florid self-portrait of the artist in middle age overflows with fantasies, musical numbers, and an exuberant sense of creative freedom.
