Les femmes du bus 678

This is one of the very few films that talks about the sexual harassment that women suffer in Egypt or the middle east.

The plot of this film is so good, the way it talks about different kinds of women and how they react to such incidents and how the others around them including their husbands, siblings, friends and parents are affected too.

The performances in this film are outstanding from all the cast especially Bushra, the directing is good and this film was one of the main reasons I follow Mohamed Diab.

It's sad to see such a movie not getting so much recognition from the public in Egypt as other movies but it definitely has its own place between critically acclaimed films of all time here in the middle east.

Three women of different social backgrounds decide to fight back after being the victims of repeated assaults by men in the street or in the bus. This movie manages to address the delicate issue of sexual assaults on women in a very interesting way: each character has a unique standpoint and no moral judgment is imposed in the end. There is a little zest of comedy in the tragedy, some truly powerful and positive moments, and despite some stereotypical characters, the film avoids caricature. The three heroines are credible and endearing. Their relationships with men are complex, and it is hard not to ask yourself: What would I do if I faced the same challenges as they face? A perfect movie to watch on 8 March... International Women's Day.

Those men think they are god, treat women as second rate citizens, on a good day, those men are just sad beings, those men should start treating women with respect and dignity, maybe they will find out it makes them human. beautyful movie, thank you

Director Mohamed Diab shoots excellent scenes and has an intelligent perspective on storytelling.

Sexual harrastment is, unfortunatelty, a terrible matter in conservative patriarchial societies by the context of daily lives of women, civil laws and psychological boundaries. Diab not only gifts a good cinematography but also interferes an actual defection of modern society. This movie is one of important parts of survival against sexual harrasment in Egypt. Recently after the movie Egyptian governers had to create new laws punishing the sexual harrasment. Greet to Diab and bravely resisting Egyptian women!!

This movie has a strong message but it takes forever to deliver it.
