About The Wife of an Important Man
When Mona marries the seemingly decent police officer Hisham, she finds out there is more into him than what he shows to the people.
Directed by Mohamed Khan, The Wife of an Important Man leans on a strong ensemble — Ahmed Zaki, Mervat Amin, Hassan Hosny — 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 drama titles of 1988.
