"Cairo Time" a Must See

Wandered down to the Magnolia in Dallas for afternoon treat and was not disappointed.  The movie takes place in Cairo and starts off with the wife of a UN operative being picked up by a retired UN worker who worked with her husband.  The wife is bored awaiting her husbands arrival that keeps getting delayed and ventures out for some sights with her husband friend. The main characters Juliett Grant (Patricia Clarkson)  and Tariq Khalifa (Alexander Siddig) who is single and handsome put on a stunning and heartfelt performance. Tariq now owns a coffee shop that caters to men only that warrants a laugh when Juliette enters. The soundtrack is beautiful and the cinematography is breath taking and captured scenes on the river, at the pyramids and the culture of the middle east. The ending plays out as one would think but surprises you with a twist that is unexpected. For the person who enjoys foreign films, this is one you want to see while it is at The Landmark Magnolia.
