Coverage of Egypt in international media worth noting in brief

Other coverage worth a skim included:

  • Egyptian film Clash is a gripping account of the chaos that swept Egypt in 2013 and is “also a work of fiendish formal brilliance,” Danny Leigh writes in The Financial Times, giving it a 4-out-of-5 star rating. Tara Brady gives the film a similar rating in the Irish Times, saying it “is a very fine picture, worthy to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such tricky, similarly themed films as Lifeboat and Lebanon.”
  • The St. Catherine Monastery is the oldest continuously occupied monastery in the history of Christianity, Guilhem Dubernet writes in La Croix.
  • Pork is not illegal in Cairo, “but you have to know a guy,” Adam Koppeser writes in Extra Crispy. “Cairo offers other fixes. There are pork butchers scattered throughout the city … You can get your hands on locally processed pork there, but it has mixed reviews on flavor,” he writes. H/t Rachel W.
