Between Two Palaces (Palace Walk) - بين القصرين
$550.00Set in Cairo during the British occupation, Abdelgawad is a strict patriarch who tightly controls his family while secretly indulging in a double life of nightly escapades. The family's dynamics shift dramatically when his children challenge his authority, leading to revelations and conflict. Adapted from Naguib Mahfouz's "Cairo Trilogy," this film captures the tension between tradition and change.
The poster, designed by Ragheb, breaks norms with a grey background highlighted by a yellow monochromatic photograph of an old Cairo neighborhood from the film. Below, a sketch depicts a protest march, reflecting the political upheaval of the time. The modernity of the poster is reinforced by the use of a Naskh-font title with a special twist, symbolizing the role of the press during the period. This unique design captures the historical and emotional essence of the film, making it a standout piece.
