About Cat on Fire
Contractor Mahmoud Abdel Majeed is afflicted with cancer, and his children hide the truth about his illness from him. This man has two sons, the eldest, Mukhtar, has a weak personality, while the younger son, Amin, does not covet his father’s money and lives in isolation with his wife, Gigi. She has many ambitions to transfer ownership of the factory to Amin, but he considers her... The reason his gay friend committed suicide.
Directed by Samir Seif, Cat on Fire leans on a strong ensemble — Nour El-Sherif, Poussi, Farid Shawqy — 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 1977.
