Mixing styles of documentary and fiction to blur the lines between what is real and what is acted, Youssef Chahine creates a portrait of Egypt’s bustling capital, a major center of the Arab world. But by filming Cairo with his unique sense of artistic digression, Chahine transforms this portrait of a city into the self-portrait of a filmmaker.
