seeking haven for mR. rambo

Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo is directed by Khaled Mansour, co-written with Mohamed El-Hossieny, and produced by Film Clinic with Mohamed Hefzy and Rasha Hosny. The film premiered in the Orizzonti Extra section at the Venice International Film Festival and won the Grand Prize at the Red Sea International Film Festival.

At Bruxa Magazine, we view it as a film of remarkable cinematography and a powerful, universal story—a work of cinema made for those who truly love film. Lead actor Essam Omar delivers a deeply emotional performance that doesn’t rely on words; through his expressions alone, the weight of the story is felt. It’s gripping and a reminder of how cinema can transcend borders and speak to the core of the human experience.
