Excellent film! L’intrigue est serrée, très bon rythme. Une découverte du monde universitaire religieux musulman
Un Conclave musulman, thriller, très beaux plans avec ces tenues religieuses et la cour de la mosquée, la mosaïque des tapis de prière.
Aborde les problématiques religieuses et politiques en Egypte autour de l'élection du nouveau grand Imam du Caire. Plusieurs beaux plans Dispo sur Arte Un peu lent
Sur Arte TV Pas réussie à rester concentrée. Trop compliqué pour moi.
Instructif
