The Gentlemen

Watch Trailer
2025 · 132 min Comedy Drama
6.2 / 10 · TMDB

Ahmed, an ordinary Cairo taxi driver, picks up three passengers who turn out to be ghosts of legendary Arab poets — Al-Mutanabbi, Abu Nuwas, and Al-Ma'arri. Their philosophical debates about life, love, and meaning are crammed into the cramped interior of an old taxi speeding through the night streets of a modern city. While the ghosts quote classical verses and argue about eternity, Ahmed grapples with his failed marriage and mounting debts. Their journey becomes an absurd dialogue across centuries, where medieval wisdom clashes with the realities of Egyptian traffic jams, mobile phones, and family dramas. The film explores how ancient truths resonate in a world where poetry has been replaced by text messages and calligraphy by emojis.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Amr Salama constructs the narrative as intimate theater in motion, where the taxi's confined space becomes a metaphor for limited human perception. Dialogue takes precedence over action, with comedy arising from the contrast between elevated discourse and mundane details.

Anyone ready for unexpectedly profound reflection disguised as light comedy will find each witty exchange gradually revealing existential questions. Here, classical Arabic literature comes alive in the most unlikely context, provoking both laughter and contemplation. — MovieFinder Editorial
