Cairo Station
(1958)Bab el hadid
|
The lustful fantasies of crippled Qinawi (Youssef Chahine) -- a newsstand vendor in a Cairo train depot -- morph into a dangerous fixation with a seductive but scheming lemonade seller (Hind Rostom) just as a serial killer begins terrorizing the city in this Egyptian thriller. Also directed by Chahine, the film met with a chorus of condemnation upon its 1958 release but is now considered a masterwork by many cinephiles and critics.
