Life

Amin's first film, Educational Film (2001), dealt with the theme of sexual repression in Egyptian society: three sexually frustrated friends embark on a picaresque adventure, their group growing in size as they attempt to watch a porn video. The Night Baghdad Fell (2006) is an anti-American political fantasy, focusing on the reaction of an upper-middle-class family in Cairo to the Iraq invasion.[1] Two Girls from Egypt (2010) depicts two single women in their early thirties, examining themes of spinsterhood, sexual experience, unemployment and political corruption.[2] The film was banned in Kuwait.[3]
