Sinekatalog’s take
Youssef Chahine's historical drama sees Napoleon's 1798 invasion of Egypt through the eyes of Egyptians and a French officer who falls for the country. Michel Piccoli and Patrice Chéreau star in a rich, ironic and humane view of colonialism.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
