About The Thief and the Fool
A foolish man down on his luck is befriended by another man who lost his eye in a brawl. Little does he know that his new, one-eyed friend is scheming to steal his eye and has enlisted the help of his nurse friend (Ruby), who works in an organ-trading hospital.
Directed by Mohamed Mostafa, The Thief and the Fool leans on a strong ensemble — Khaled El Sawy, Khaled Saleh, Ruby — 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 2013.
