The Ghosts of Alexandria
A singular and poetic evocation of what Alexandria was, a multifaceted city, when it was at the heart of the Arab and European worlds. The men of letters Cavafy and Lawrence Durell are evoked by a few quotes describing the city, scattered throughout the film. The mixture of cultures and languages is the very essence of Alexandria, its inhabitants testify to the memory of a lush and harmonious cosmopolitan city, under the eye of the director's camera...
