A dedicated lawman hunting terrorists in war-torn, 1990s-era Algeria becomes an increasingly popular target amongst the most murderous men in the region in director Okacha Touita's entry into the 2007 Montreal World Film Festival. Inspector Brahim Llob is well known for his efforts in ensuring that the most elusive terrorists in Algeria pay for their brutal crimes - so well known, in fact, that instead of being the hunter he now officially qualifies as the hunted. Convinced that each day he shows up for work will be his last, Inspector Llob is ordered by his commanding officer to round up his two lieutenants and locate the missing girl of a retired government official. Later, while closing in on a radical fundamentalist organization on a deadly campaign to do away with Algerian intellectuals, Inspector Llob continually crosses paths with various people previously implicated in a high profile scandal and quickly begins to suspect that his every move is being dictated by the powers that be. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

The biblical tale of Joseph is told from an Egyptian perspective in this interesting character study. In this film, Joseph is called Ram. Ram, tired of his family's backward superstitious life, and tired of being picked on by his brothers, wants to go to Egypt to study agriculture. His brothers travel with him across Sinai, but then suddenly sell him to Ozir, an Egyptian who works for a Theban military leader, Amihar. Amihar is impressed by Ram's drive and personal charm and so grants Ram some desolate land outside the capital. Ram soon finds himself a pawn in the political and sexual games between Amihar and his wife Simihit, a high priestess of the Cult of Amun. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
