The Yacoubian Building
Movie • 2006 • Drama
ReportSynopsis
Cairo: a 70-year-old building of once-luxury flats with tenements on the roof. Zika, an aging libertine, feuds with his sister. Pius Haj Azzam takes a second wife, in secret, to satisfy sexual drive within religious bounds. Bothayna, poor and beautiful, supports her family, wanting to do so with dignity intact. Her former fiancé, Taha, the janitor's son, humiliated by the police, turns to fundamentalism. Hatem, a gay editor, seduces and corrupts a young man from the sticks. Two brothers, Copts, one a tailor and one Zika's factotum, connive for property. Allah is on most everyone's lips, and corruption is in their hearts.

Although not directly shown, the film shows just before and just after a man is raped. Several scenes depict powerful men performing questionably consenual sex acts on women.

Near the end of the film three Islamic fundamentalists assassinate a secret police chief. The gun fight results in several death, shown in very graphic style with vast amounts of blood and injury effects as bullets hit.

Homosexuality is discussed in degrading ways. A gay character is depicted as a predator and a corrupting influence.

There are numerous relationships with large age gaps depicted in the film. Some are portrayed as problematic or as an older, more powerful man taking advantage of a younger, less powerful woman, but a central romance with a large age gap is depicted as happy and unproblematic.
