A true masterpiece ! Deserves every award on Earth !

The character of Qinawi seems to be greatly similar to the myth of Oedipus, both were disabled, and their eyes had lust for what was forbidden to them. The movie begins with a tragic music, indicating the sadness in the movie, then turns to a wedding music, indicating the wedding of Hanooma and Abo Serie, then returns again to sadness.
The contrasts were pretty focused on by the director who was also playing the character Qinawi, Every frame indicates something, like that frame that included Qinawi and the statue of Ramsees II, who loved a woman and ordered for a building about her, with her dress that was transparent just like Hanooma's dress in a shot.
A true masterpiece!
