Political drama in a claustrophobic setting...
“Clash” is set in Cairo in the aftermath of the 2013 overthrow of Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi, of the Muslim Brotherhood movement. People have taken to the streets to protest the army’s forceful ouster of Morsi. The film portrays individuals of all beliefs caught in the crossfire, who are brought into a van whether protesting the army, the Muslim Brotherhood, or the widespread chaos itself. As the heat of the day turns the van into an oven, those in the van quarrel and brawl with one another and plead with their unsympathetic captors for water.<br /><br />Director Mohamed Diab presents a harrowing account of a country and citizenry in turmoil as factions vie for control of the government. Diab focuses on a fairly small group rounded up and tossed into the van. Politically diverse, their opinions differ about the future of the country. One man is homeless, but most are making it with varying degrees of success. Some want an Islamic state, others are organized to protest the Muslim Brotherhood, and others simply want to live their lives in a country that allows them to do so. The back of the truck serves as a microcosm of the political divide of the time. The single desire binding them together is getting out of the truck.<br /><br />As violence escalates outside the truck and snipers target the police, director Diab keeps his focus on the van’s inhabitants until it comes to represent humanity. Outside are the destructive political forces that had divided them. The flaw with the film is its failure to get into the heads of any of its characters. They are portrayed more as metaphors than individuals with stories of their own. “Clash” is well made and does deliver in the thrill department, but if it offered greater insight into the characters, it would be far more effective.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the unrated widescreen DVD release include a making-of documentary and a trailer. The film is in Arabic, with optional English subtitles.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Set entirely within the confines of a police van, Clash dramatizes the ongoing political unrest in Egypt two years after the Arab Spring. It s 2013 and mass protests have led to the ouster of the ruling Muslim Brotherhood by the army. A series of arrests finds rival demonstrators trapped in a paddywagon together under the threat of impossibly stifling heat. From this simple setup, Mohamed Diab weaves a white-knuckled tale of resistance and shared humanity that artfully evokes the political fault lines in the Arab world s most populous nation.Special Features: Making-of Documentary | Trailer.
