Return of the Prodigal Son
Freed after spending years in prison, an activist's homecoming turns into a dark affair as his disillusion clashes with his family's expectations. Demonstrating Chahine’s eclecticism, this is an elegant melodrama, exuberant musical, layered allegory, and profound portrait of personal and political disillusionment.

Reviews
Fresh and Exciting
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
