      Décor (Egypt)  

      In this inventive look at women’s roles in urban Egypt, an overworked movie-set designer walks in and out of a life where she is a traditional stay-at-home mother. It starts to become unclear which existence is real, or whether she’s lost herself in one of the melodramas she helps stage on celluloid.

      The resolution tries a little hard to force a psychological explanation on the material, but this film—shot in shimmery black and white—has style to burn.
