Two formally dressed people stand at a bar or high table in an elegant, dimly lit venue. The man on the left wears a black tuxedo and looks upward with a serious expression. The woman beside him wears a sparkling teal/emerald sequined dress and glances sideways with a wary look. On the table in front of them are cocktails and a glass vase with pink lilies. Other guests are visible in the blurred background.

About Eagles Of The Republic

In this new political thriller from director Tarik Saleh, a famous actor (Fares Fares) is forced to collaborate with the Egyptian authoritarian regime.

George Fahmy (Fares) lives a charmed, luxurious life as Egypt's most beloved leading man. However, when he's approached by the country's highest authorities to star in a propaganda film about the president's rise to power, the life he knows is threatened if he refuses their call. Drawn into a web of lies, spies and deception of the inner circle of power, George finds himself unable to escape the snare of tyranny in all its forms.

Saleh's film is both a clever political satire and a sobering cautionary tale of the creeping spread of totalitarianism as it overtakes the psyche of a nation.

  1. Two performers in elaborate period costume sit together holding wine glasses — one wearing a voluminous blonde baroque wig and ornate gold brocade gown with a small crown, the other in cream robes with a bold auburn wig topped by a jewelled crown and a styled moustache, both gazing off with theatrical expressions against a woven cane backdrop.

  2. A period drama scene set on the lawn of a grand English country house. Two figures in elaborate 18th-century costumes sit on either side of a dark ornate octagonal table bearing a bottle of red wine and two glasses. On the left, a young woman in a green and red floral silk gown with lace-trimmed sleeves sits on the grass, gazing away from the table. On the right, an older man in a dark red coat, embroidered waistcoat, and a large curled grey periwig sits in a carved wooden chair, his bandaged foot resting on a red cushion — suggesting gout. Behind them, a stone balustrade with obelisk finials borders a formal garden, and the façade of a Jacobean manor house is visible to the left, framed by autumn trees.
