The Sparrow - العصفور

Set during the tumultuous period leading up to and during the 1967 Six-Day War, Youssef Chahine’s film employs a fragmented narrative style, presenting multiple subplots including a hunt for a criminal tied to government corruption, personal tales of war, and cross-generational conflicts, reflecting on the unfulfilled promises of the 1952 Revolution.

The poster, designed by Gassour, powerfully conveys the film's themes with an image of a woman breaking free from a torn newspaper, symbolizing resistance and awakening. The bold red title and elegant layout of the credits enhance the impact of this evocative design, capturing the essence of a nation in turmoil and the fight for freedom.
