Clash

95 นาที 2016

Released in 2016, the Egyptian film 'Clash,' originally titled 'إشتباك,' is a gripping political thriller that unfolds in real time. Directed by Mohamed Diab, the entire narrative is set within the confined space of a police truck. The film's ensemble cast represents a microcosm of Egyptian society, bringing together people from vastly different political and social backgrounds—from journalists and activists to Muslim Brotherhood supporters and ordinary citizens. They are all arbitrarily arrested and forced together during the political turmoil following the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état. As tensions rise and allegiances shift within the claustrophobic vehicle, 'Clash' becomes a powerful exploration of humanity under extreme pressure. The film is a masterclass in tension, using its single location to create a palpable sense of urgency and conflict. Its raw and unflinching look at societal fractures makes it a significant and thought-provoking work of cinema that transcends its specific setting to comment on universal themes of conflict, empathy, and survival.
