Green Ataba Square - العتبة الخضراء
$600.00A naive man from Upper Egypt, Mabruk, is tricked by a cunning con man, Youssef, into buying the famous Ataba Square in Cairo. Accompanied by his fame-seeking companion, Mona, Mabruk's journey into the heart of the city is filled with comedic misadventures. The film stars Ismail Yassine as the gullible Mabruk, Ahmed Mazhar as the scheming Youssef, and Sabah as the ambitious Mona.
The poster captures the film's comedic spirit perfectly. Sabah is depicted in one of her elegant dresses, radiating charm and ambition. Ahmed Mazhar appears in monochromatic yellow, exuding a deceptive seriousness that hides his scheme. Ismail Yassine, with his funny and confused expression, adds a light-hearted flair to the design. The green title stands out vividly, complementing the overall playful and humorous tone of the poster. This design is a delightful representation of the film's comic essence, making it a cherished piece for collectors.
