    Cairo Station

    Posted by BrianWhit 1 August 2005

    Aka Bab el-Hadid, Central Station, The Iron Gate. Arguably the best Arab film ever made. Youssef Chahine’s 1958 black-and-white masterpiece was banned in Egypt for years, but you can get it on VHS with English subtitles from www.amazon.com/ or www.arabfilm.com/.
