About This Movie

Still a While explores the complexities of mental illness with a blend of comedy and drama. It's a fascinating watch, especially with Ahmed Helmy portraying a thug, which adds an unexpected layer to the narrative. The pacing has this ebb and flow that mirrors the protagonist's struggle with their inner demons, making you feel their highs and lows in a visceral way. The film's atmosphere is at times light-hearted yet deeply introspective, highlighting how we often misjudge our own realities. It’s the kind of film that stays with you, raising questions about self-perception and the importance of confronting one's truths.

This film is somewhat elusive in collector circles, not widely available in various formats, which adds to its charm. The scarcity of quality releases has resulted in a niche interest among collectors who appreciate films that tackle serious themes with levity. While not necessarily a mainstream title, it has found a dedicated audience intrigued by its exploration of mental health and the nuanced performance by Helmy as a thug. Original prints and early releases are particularly sought after, reflecting its unique place in the landscape of independent cinema.
