Kit Kat

Based on a novel by Ibrahim Aslan, Kit Kat is the poignant story of Sheikh Husni, a blind musician who has mastered the art of seeming to have sight. He inserts himself into the lives of everyone in his poor neighborhood (in adventures which border on the absurd), but his passionate love of life eventually touches all he encounters. For the quarter where Husni lives, set-designer Onsi Abou Seif created a wonderfully lively neighborhood atmosphere of narrow lanes filled with the sort of disenfranchised folk that director Abd al-Sayyid has consistently focused on in his films.-Alia Arasoughly
