Youssef Chahine established his international reputation with this masterpiece, which, though initially a commercial failure in Egypt, would become one of the most infIuential and celebrated works in alI of Arab cinema. The director himself stars as Kenawi, a disabIed newspaper hawker whose obsession with a suItry drink selIer (Hind Rostom, known as the "Marilyn Monroe of Arabia") Ieads to tragedy of operatic proportions on the streets of Cairo. BIending elements of neorealism with provocative noir-melodrama, Cairo Station is a work of raw popuIist poetry that explores the individual’s search for a pIace in Egypt’s new postrevolutionary poIiticaI order.
