It’s time for the next Cinema F’el Salon, and this one is a DOOZY.

Our second event takes a pretty iconic pivot, out from the 50s eleganza and straight into the disco fever dream of 1981. We’re, of course, talking about Fangs/Anyab/انياب

The Film: Anyab/انياب dir. Mohamed Shebl (1981)

Starring: Ahmed Adawiyya, Mona Gabr, Ali El Haggar

A young couple, who dream of living in an apartment with a television, are on their way to a NYE party when they suffer car troubles. Somethingsomething foreboding castle for shelter, somethingsomething Dracula somethingsomething insane musical numbers, it’s all very familiar. And yet…

So it’s billed as ‘Egypt’s answer to the Rocky Horror Show’ but it’s so much more than that. Liberties are pushed to the max (looking at the Pink Panther interlude that accompanies the world’s most extended metaphor of Egypt’s socio-economic climate). Sexual politics? Actors that aren’t your usual whitewashed cast? A whole load of fabulous murder and disco and fire? Say less, blease.
