Les Fantomes dAlexandrie AKA The Ghosts of Alexandria (1986) Jocelyne Saab

Alexandria: by turn Hellenistic, Greek, Roman, Copt… and then a petit Paris at the end of the 1930s. Inspired by the texts of Cavafy and the writer Lawrence Durell, the film is a portrait of a city that has long been at the heart of the Arab world. English subtitles by Kanafi
