Yatheb Yat'eb

About This Movie

Yatheb Yat'eb is this oddball 1994 Egyptian comedy that takes a look at the lives of three university friends—Hisham, Mokhtar, and Medhat—who just can’t seem to finish their studies despite being in the Faculty of Arts for over 15 years. It’s got this laid-back, almost surreal vibe, where the absurdity of their situation drags out into a delightful exploration of procrastination and the fears of adulthood. The pacing is a bit meandering, which kind of mirrors their academic struggles, and the performances have this raw quality that makes their antics feel relatable. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy, more like a quirky slice of life that captures a certain social commentary about the pressures of graduating and confronting reality. Definitely a curious piece to add to your collection if you're into the more unconventional side of cinema.
