The French have come to liberate the Egyptians from the Mamluk yoke. After a hard-fought fight before the pyramids (from which the French emerge victors) the soldiers of the republic join in friendship with the Egyptians of Cairo. This is particularly true of General Caffarelli, Bonaparte’s friend from the days of the Italian campaign. |

The film is a joint Egyptian-French production. Youssef Chahine’s tale is half historical half philosophical and it takes the viewer on a voyage of discovery of Egypt whose oriental aromas possess the soul of the world. |

Adieu Bonaparte was chosen to represent Egypt at the 1985 Cannes festival. Yvonne Sassinot de Nesle’s costumes are sumptuous, Mohen Nasr images of the Nile and Mediterranean are spectacular and Chahine and Mohiedine’s dialogues are extremely moving. Furthermore, Patrice Chéreau’s Napoleon and Salah Zulfikar’s Cheikh Hassouna were unforgettable. |
