This is a promotional poster designed by Gasour for the 1982
120-minute Youssef Chahine color film An Egyptian Story [haduta
masria] based on a story idea by Yousef Idriss, screenplay by Youssef
Chahine and cinematography by Mohsen Nasr. Plot summary: In this
autobiographical meditation director Yehia (Chahine) has a heart
attack while directing one of his films. He is obliged to go to
England and submit to the care of coronary specialist Magdy
Ya'qoub. During the operation he sees scenes from the past, critiques
of the way he directs his films, how he met his wife the daughter of a
film producer, how he dreamed of exhibiting his film Nile Boy at the
Cannes Film Festival, and his direction of films like Cairo Station
and Jamila. These scenes are shown in the framework of a trial where
there is a confrontation between the successful director and the small
child within. The dream trial also brings out the director's
relationship with the Egyptian revolution, his craving for success and
his encounter with the American dream. The heart operation is a
success.
