The Elder Brother - الأخ الكبير
$600.00Awad, played by Farid Shawqi, is the head of a drug-dealing gang while maintaining a facade of respectability for his family. He cares for his mother, brother Ahmed, and niece Dawlat, who believe him to be a respectable tradesman. His ex-girlfriend, Rawhiya, portrayed by Hind Rostom, seeks revenge after Awad refuses to marry her by seducing Ahmed and introducing him to drugs. This complex narrative of familial duty and betrayal is directed by Ahmed Diaaeddin and showcases the dramatic tension between Awad's dual life and his efforts to protect his family from his own dark world.
The poster vividly captures the film's tension and drama. Large headshots of the two brothers dominate the top half, rendered in warm, fiery tones that suggest intensity and conflict. Hind Rostom stands seductively in the bottom half, wearing a striking red dress, symbolizing both allure and danger. The design effectively highlights the emotional and moral struggles within the story, making this poster a compelling piece for collectors and fans of classic Egyptian cinema.
