Egypt 1992, 105 min.

With Adel Imam, Kamal Al-Shennawi

Yousra And Rala Wali Adien

al-Irhab Wal Kabab is a contemporary farce that denounces the absurdity of bureaucracy in modern Egypt. Adel Imam, Egypt’s leading comic actor, is a father who wants to move his son to a school closer to home. He goes to El-Mugamaa, the center of Cairo’s monolithic bureaucracy, to pick up the required documents. Frustrated by the lack of response, he ends up attacking a fundamentalist official and, when armed police respond to the situation, a machine gun accidentally finds its way into Imam’s hands. As a terrorist, his demands to the Minister of Internal Affairs are simple: shish kebab made of high-class lamb. After sharing a hearty meal with his hostages, however, his demands become more political.
