Cairo Time (2009) starring Patricia Clarkson, Alexander Siddig, Tom McCamus. Magazine editor Juliette (Clarkson) travels to Cairo to be with her husband, Mark (McCamus), but finds him unavoidably detained. Instead, her guide to Cairo becomes Tareq (Siddig), an Egyptian man who formerly worked for Mark. Juliette and Tareq develop feelings for each other, but they never act on them -- except that Juliette goes with Tareq to visit the Pyramids, something she had promised Mark she would save for him. It's a good sort of culture-clash film, although it moves rather slowly. The subtitles are good. Grade: B+
