About Back Streets
Several models of Egyptian citizens are introduced during the British occupation, from Shukry the army officer who refuses to shoot at student demonstrations, Saad who engages in political activity against the British occupation, to Abdel Azis who loves Raja, the dancer.
Directed by Kamal Atteya, Back Streets leans on a strong ensemble — Magda El Khatib, Nour El-Sherif, Mahmoud El Meligy — 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 screen titles of 1974.
