Alexandrie Pourquoi? (إسكندرية..ليه؟) is very interesting, but it did feel a bit disjointed to me. There were rather a few more plots than I really knew what to do with, and some of them got away from me as a viewer. Extra points, though, for portraying a gay British–Egyptian romance in 1979. This is why I watched Youssef Chahine's film – he is a famous Arab filmmaker who often portrayed gay characters – and it didn't disappoint in that regard.
