Like That in Zamalek is an interesting blend of comedy and social commentary, showcasing the life of a broke aristocrat named Nizar. He’s a charming conman, using his wits and the unsuspecting Saeed to pull off a rather audacious scheme involving an elderly millionaire and his missing son. The film captures the essence of Cairo’s elite juxtaposed with their moral decay. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the chaotic charm of Nizar’s escapades. Performances here are lively, creating an atmosphere of both humor and tension. What stands out is the exploration of loyalty and greed, all wrapped up in a colorful, almost theatrical presentation that makes it distinctively memorable.
