https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/09/27/the-youssef-chahine-podcast-no-40-lets-talk-marianne-khoury-2019/Let's talk about 'Let's Talk', Marianne Khoury's exploration of mother/daughter relationships across generations. The film is of interest to us because we wondered if it would enhance our understanding of Chahine's cinema; and it does! Marianne's mother was Chahine's sister, and her story was dramatised by Chahine in Dawn of a New Day (1964). Khoury also demonstrates how part of the family's narrative is the origin and source of strands of Alexandria .... Why (1979) and An Egyptian Story (1982), so the accounts on this film give us an interesting spin on how Chahine treats the same material. We discuss the relationship between Iris and Marianne and Marianne and her own daughter Sara: is it self-reflexive enough? Is the film aware of the historical context in which those lives were lived and various decisions were made? We discuss cosmopolitism and language (a gift/ a burden?); the pleasure of the old photographs and how they evoke whole ways of life; we rant about BFI Player; José purrs when he sees footage of the EICTV film school in Cuba and at the footage in Havana. We recommend as a film that enhances our understanding of Chahine's work and also a film that is a very personal reflection of mother/daughter relationships.
