An Egypt Affair

What a excellent film. The great photography and location by it self was worthy of awards, but the story and acting was top notch also. One of the best Indy movies I've seen in a long time.

I highly recommend the movie to anyone who likes travel, friendship and betrayal.

The lead actress., Yolanthe Cabau did a fantastic job in her role. Her acting, looks and dancing were spot on for a temptress.

Massimiliano "Massi" Furlan, who I have seen in other movies, never seems to fail in his roles. Once again, he turned in a convincing performance. You can't help but not trust his character as Darius.

All I can say is WOW! I loved this movie and I absolutely loved the turns and twists. And the locations shown in Egypt and along the Nile River were wonderful.

The story was intriguing, as I was always trying to figure out the motivations of the various characters. Were they true friends? What is the value of friendship? What happens when confronted with overwhelming temptation in a faraway land? What would you do when someone blackmails you? Do you fight or run or ? And the two lead actors did a great job with their roles. The camera loves the those two actors. It's fun to watch the emotional turns on their faces, throughout the movie.

Thank you for sharing this film and I will highly recommend it to my friends.

What an unusual find! I saw this at the LA festival and was so glad I had an opportunity to experience it. This movie was actually filmed in Egypt and is very authentic. It brought me back to my travels there with the beautiful scenery and music. I could practically smell the spices and food in the market scenes! The plot has enough twists and complexity to be good on its own. The characters are believable and acting quality is better than I expect from an indie film. The scenery was an unexpected treat and video quality was much higher than most indie films. If you want to experience Egypt without your passport, this is a film to see.

The story is about 2 couples who are friends with each other on a trip to Egypt and what ensues there. Another couple joins the trip surprisingly and then there are affairs among these. The plot could have been better. The screenplay is a bit weak. Sometimes the scenes are stitched in a strange way. Most of the acting is weak too except the Egyptian woman itself who somehow reminds me of Sofia Vergara. The chemistry between two other couples is minimal and they fight over petty things. In the end they just wrap up quickly by revealing all the mysteries at once without any drama or anything and it saves the day for the protagonist. It might be watchable if you want to but definitely not worth the 9 or 10 stars given here.

Saw this at a local Film Festival in the LA area. It was quite a surprise, the film is head and shoulders above the rest of the indie fare out there these days, most of which is exploitative and seems like one silly horror film after another.

This one had a real plot, actual scripting, and above all, a Lead Actress that I couldn't take my eyes off of, no matter what else was going on in the shot. She is one of the most beautiful and charismatic women that I have ever seen in any film, and the fact that it was in a low-budget project says a lot for the Director and Producers of the film. If there's any justice in the world, this woman is going to be a Bond Girl for the next sequel coming down the pike.

The entire film takes place on a boat in the Nile River, which is another great asset to the production -- it makes me wonder why more people aren't taking advantage of these kinds of tours, where you get right down to experiencing the actual local people and locations, and exploring the temples and statues of Egypt up close -- more than just the Sphinx and Pyramids.

Kudos to the Director who seems to know how to make the most out of a budget and takes us on an amazing journey to a completely unknown culture, and an experience unlike any others on the screen. It compares very favorably to the other big release which it will inevitably be compared to, Death on the Nile, with its expensive cast, but this little scrappy project packs a lot into a very well-executed package.
