Return of the Prodigal Son
عودة الابن الضال (original)
In this Andre Gide adaptation, an activist is released after many years in prison and returns home, shaking up established relationships among his family members at the farm governed by his strict father. Demonstrating Chahine’s eclecticism, this is an elegant melodrama, exuberant musical, layered allegory, and profound portrait of personal and political disillusionment.
Starring Mahmoud el-Meliguy, Hoda Soltan, Shukri Sarhan, Soheir El-Morshidy, Hesham Selim, Majida El Roumi, Ali El Sherif, Rajaa Hussain, Sid Ali Kouiret, Ali Mahrez
