I don’t know whether I’ve seen an Egyptian film that would charm me as much as Ali, the Goat and Ibrahim. Ali believes that his fiancée has been reincarnated as a goat while his friend is hearing voices from above. Both are mentally quite unstable and so they set out on a self-seeking journey across Egypt. The camera is fantastic. It shows the brighter side of Egypt, even though the houses the characters inhabit look like terrible dives. The film portrays Egyptian extremes also in terms of the characters themselves, and manages to include some quite humorous episodes. As a whole, I rather liked this.
