The Yacoubian Building distinguishes itself both as the most expensive Egyptian film ever made and, despite its nearly three-hour running time, one of the most watchable.

At more than 2 1/2 hours, The Yacoubian Building is nothing if not long. But it's a window into a culture that few of us get to see.

Product Description:
The complex, corrupt, and beautiful stories of the residents of central Cairo who live in the crumbling, once-decadent Yacoubian Building are interwoven in this roman à clef, which paints a merciless and haunting picture of Egypt. This film from director Marwan Hamed was an official selection of the Berlin International Film Festival and the Tribeca Film Festival.
