Vraiment bien, on en apprend plus sur le fonctionnement du pouvoir en Egypte et le lien entre "l'art" (pas si libre) et le pouvoir. Aussi la place de la religion. Et l'acteur ppl joué bien, je ne me suis pas ennuyée pendant les 2h
Synopsis
Egypt's most adored actor, George Fahmy is pressured to star in a film commissioned by the highest authorities.

Like a moth drawn to the flame he begins an affair with the mysterious wife of the general overseeing the film.
Community Reviews
Viewers generally appreciate 'Eagles of the Republic' for its deep dive into political intrigue and the strong performances, particularly by Fares Fares. The film effectively blends drama and thriller elements, capturing the oppressive atmosphere of Egyptian politics. However, some found the plot overly complex and the pacing uneven, with certain scenes dragging on unnecessarily. The film's bold critique of Egyptian authority and its interplay of personal and political conflicts stand out.
👍 Strong performances and political depth
👎 Complex plot may confuse some viewers
