The Night of Counting the Years, acknowledged as one of the greatest Egyptian films ever made, is based on an incident from 1881, when it was discovered that a tribe had been secretly raiding the tombs of the Pharaohs in Thebes. The drama's carefully measured pace, almost ceremonial movement of the camera, and unsettling score all work in perfect harmony.
