(Mauro Lanari)
A Le Carré-style spy story inside al-Azhar University instead of in the library of "The Name of the Rose". Given that palace intrigues and power games are a global and not local characteristic (in Islamic countries a further pinch of more or less fundamentalist religiosity will be added); given that denunciation in all its forms and modalities (cinematographic, artistic, journalistic, political, philosophical, etc.) is neither necessary nor sufficient to sketch constructive hypotheses, protest is useless to move on to the proposal: it can lead to quick fixes intrinsically ephemeral like a pebble in the pond or a hole in the water; why not involve in the film also those who go on holiday to Sharm el-Sheikh as if they were not already fully aware that there is a "House of Cards" even in Egypt? To favor those looking for a hypocritical washing of conscience and who wants to win the award for best screenplay at Cannes 2022?
