Kira & El Gin

Kira&Gin is the most entertaining and enthralling cinematic experience in the history of Egyptian filmmaking. The writer Ahmed Mourad and the filmmaker Marwan Hamed are back with their new breakout Kira & Gin. The movie is about a group of Egyptian resistance fighters against the British occupation. The portrayal of this period in Egyptian history is mind-blowing, represented in location, building, cars , clothes even weapons.

The creators of the movie brings to life on screen action, heroism, hardship of the occupation and the beauty of classic Egypt. The movie opens with extraordinary scene of the famous Denshawai incident, and takes us through so many other unconventional sets. The cinematography standout and different nationalities ( British, Egyptian) and different generations of actors brings freshness to the screen. Characters are vivid and various and most of actors nailed it.

Though the film is 3 hours, the intensity of events and complexity of the story, make you can't get enough of it.

Kira & Gin is a revolutionary movie that gives the audience a blunt look of how occupation was, and revives the sense of appreciation for the peoples sacrifice is present. All of that without taking away the " enjoy it" factor from the audience.

3 hours of creativity, great story, high professional level of photography, acting, action, drama, comedy and romance. I am so proud that we reached this level in our films. I think it will be a motivation to the cinema makers to make more films at the same level of professionality.

Suspenseful, thrilling, brilliantly written, and engaging source material. The fact that it's based on true events makes it even more compelling. A must-see!!

From the 1st moment you feel that u have been transferred back in time , a wonderful movie ,great great cast , OUTSTANDING story , a movie that you would definitely see twice if not more !

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
