Some Visit the Marriage Registrar Twice

About This Movie

Some Visit the Marriage Registrar Twice presents a humorous take on marital woes. The film captures the chaotic dynamics of jealousy and neglect in relationships, with Dr. Mamdouh’s struggles against his wife’s jealousy juxtaposed with his brother Massoud's hectic family life. Ezzat, the cousin, provides a rather controversial solution—infidelity mixed with affection. The pacing is a bit uneven, but the comedic moments often land well, creating an engaging atmosphere. Performances are earnest, adding a layer of relatability to the characters' struggles, and it offers a distinct cultural lens on marriage, marrying humor with social commentary.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, primarily in VHS formats, making it somewhat elusive for collectors. Its scarcity, coupled with the cultural commentary it offers on marriage dynamics, has piqued the interest of niche collectors focusing on Egyptian cinema of the late 70s. There's a certain charm in its comedic approach that reflects the societal norms of the period, making it a distinct piece worth seeking out.
