‘The American’ Film Screening at Cairo Opera House
Academy Award winner George Clooney stars in this
suspense thriller. As an assassin, Jack (Clooney) is
constantly on the move and always alone. After a job in Sweden ends more
harshly than expected, Jack retreats to the
Italian countryside. He relishes being away from death for a spell as he
holds up in a small medieval town. While there, Jack takes an
assignment to construct a weapon for a mysterious contact, Mathilde
(Thekla Reuten). Savouring the peaceful quietude he finds in the
mountains of Abruzzo, Jack accepts the friendship of local priest Father
Benedetto (Paolo Bonacelli) and pursues a torrid liaison with a
beautiful woman, Clara (Violante Placido). Jack and Clara’s time
together evolves into a romance, one seemingly free of danger. But by
stepping out of the shadows, Jack may be tempting fate. The film will be shown in the Open Air Theatre.
