This haunting and beautifully formed documentary is a meditation on the life of Egyptian screen legend Soad Hosni, who starred in eighty-two feature films between 1959 and 1991. Using filmic montage, the diverse modes of female representation embodied in Hosni’s charismatic roles recount the building of an icon who captivated the modern Arab imagination.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

One of the most profound montages of archival footage I have ever seen. The film incredibly corresponds fiction and imagination with the very real historical trajectories happening during Hosni's prolific career. A deep-dive into one of the most mysterious and well-known legends of Egyptian cinema that transformed my perception of cinema itself.
