About Desire and Price
A crime occurs in a pension. The police force moves from the station to find the dead man in his hand a letter containing a payment of ten thousand pounds to a woman who was in a relationship with him without mentioning her name. The policemen try to decipher this matter, as he requests that she quickly divorce her husband, but all Pension women are married and accompanied by their husbands.
Directed by Youssef Shaaban Mohamed, Desire and Price leans on a strong ensemble — Salah Zulfikar, Nahed Sherif, Shoukry Sarhan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1978.
