https://notesonfilm1.com/2023/08/25/thinking-aloud-about-film-the-eloquent-peasant-shadi-abdel-salam-egypt-1970/ We podcast on our second Shadi Abdel Salam film, the beautiful Film Foundation restoration of The Eloquent Peasant. The film is a parable, a moral lesson. A peasant is robbed of his cargo by a rich man. Is justice for the powerless possible or are the rich protected by too many vested interests. As relevant a question now as it was in Ancient Times.
