An award-winning audience pleaser at the Toronto and Tribeca Film Festivals, Ruba Nadda’s Cairo Time is both a love letter to a city and a sweeping romantic drama in the tradition of such films as Brief Encounter and Lost in Translation. Oscar-nominee Patricia Clarkson stars as a beautiful American abroad in Egypt who finds herself enamored by more than the sun-swept vistas of Cairo. Juliette (Clarkson), a fashion magazine editor in her 40s, travels to Cairo to meet her husband for a three-week vacation. When he is unavoidably delayed, he sends his trusted friend Tareq (Alexander Siddig) to keep her company. As he guides her through the sights, sounds, and unique customs of the exotic city, unexpected feelings emerge, leading to an awakening of emotion that takes Juliette by surprise. English and Arabic with English subtitles. The film screens on Friday, September 24 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, September 25 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, September 26 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Admission is $6 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students, and staff. General admission is $8. Cash only. Free for UM students. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.
