Cairo looked gorgeous and romantic, but not at all like the highly congested, polluted, and economically impoverished Cairo I just returned from a few weeks ago -- hardly romantic. Beyond this, Juliette isn't your common "tourist" coming to satisfy a lifelong desire to visit the pyramids -- she's the middle-aged wife of a UN diplomat. Presumably during her years of marriage she would have visited a few other places (if not Cairo), seen considerable variation in how people from different parts of the world live, and learned how to navigate cultural differences to some degree. Yet this beautiful white blond seems oblivious to these differences, prances around on her own in colourful, open d
I agree there's nothing happening in this movie other than beautiful scenery of Cairo. I felt no chemistry between the actors.
Loved the gradual development of feeling and chemistry between the two characters. As others have said, Clarkson was wonderful, but so was Siddiq. The way his face and body language at the end expressed his heartbreak...it's not letting me go.
Beautiful shots of Cairo, but I would have liked a little more of a story line other than arriving in Cairo, a hotel room and then the husband. The ending was lacking
I escaped to Cairo for about 11/2 hours of pure bliss. I loved every moment of it. It certainly isn't for the "rockem sockem" crowd.
such an evocative film. Patricia Clarkson is overwhelming although her wardrobe could have less less provocative to the environment.
Don't believe any of these people who say this is a boring movie that has nothing to it except for beautiful shots of Cairo. They don't appreciate sublety, and I would find them boring. My daughter is in Cairo right now, and is having the time of her life. I envy her, and seeing this movie made me want to go too.
awesome movie, i like it
Wonderful movie. Breathtaking view of Cairo and wonderful chemistry between the lead characters.
With better editing(scenes way too long) and directing there is a good story here.Cairo by default is the real star of this movie.
