A minimalist yet powerful piece of Egyptian cinematic history, this 1989 poster for "الأراجوز" (Al Aragoz) features legendary actor Omar Sharif in one of his most heartfelt local performances.
Set against a striking monochrome red background, this poster shows the aragoz (puppet performer) with hands raised, symbolizing protest, performance, and the raw voice of the people. A must-have for collectors of Middle Eastern political drama and fans of socially conscious cinema.
Directed by Hani Lasheen, the film dives into the complex relationship between a father and son, navigating the divide between artistic freedom and institutional power. It’s a poetic, allegorical tale dressed in theatrical symbolism.
