The Night of Counting the Years (1969)

Set in 1881, a year before the start of British colonial rule, it is based on the true story of the Abd el-Rasuls, an Upper-Egyptian clan that had been robbing a cache of mummies they have discovered at tomb DB320 near the village of Kurna, and selling the artifacts on the black market. After a conflict within the clan, one of its members made a crucial decision when the Antiquities Service arrived.

Oppressively somber, but absolutely gorgeous, with some important things to say about collective identity and loyalty. Steeped in just the right amount of intrigue, crime and death, Al-Mummia can be difficult to follow, and its complete lack of warmth probably won't be landing it on any favorites lists any time soon. I thought it was a fascinating, original sociological piece, though; it has a relationship with the tomb-robber tribe that is both intimate and distant, critical and nonjudgmental, at the same time. Combined with cinematography and mise-en-scene that is almost too lush to believe, and you have a really significant piece of Egyptian cinema. Martin Scorsese picked a great film to restore.

Hypnotic and eerie but true tale from Egypt detailing how a remote tribe was caught plundering a hidden mountain tomb where dozens of mummies (including those of important pharaohs) had been secured 3000 years ago after their official tombs in the Valley of the Kings had been desecrated. Taking place in the late 1880's, the film also contains an apparent conflict between the city people and the mountain people, the modern versus the traditional culture. However, all is not what it seems, as the young people of the mountain tribe show that they have more respect for their ancestors than do their elders who have been beset by greed, aided by a malevolent antiquities dealer. The day is won by those who wish to preserve and safeguard the past. The actual landscapes and relics of Egypt and some spooky electronic music give this a quality of dreamlike otherworldliness.

Absolutely brilliant movie - beautifully shot, fantasticly subtle acting. Very reminiscent of Yellow Earth.
