The Yacoubian Building

Despite a twenty-two year connection with the Sultanate of Oman, this might be the first Arabic movie I have seen from start to finish. It's supposedly the biggest budget Egyptian production ever and it's based on a novel of the same name by Alaa Al Aswany. BBC4 broadcast it a couple days ago so it's available on the iPlayer for the next week. It's long (2h40m) but thoroughly enjoyable.
