one of my absolute favorites!
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
I just checked this incredible obscurity after an American friend recommended it. Wolves Don't Eat meat has all the intrinsic ingredients that feeds the needs of the most ardent exploitation fan - sexy sleaze, pulpy violence and a funky electro score (from Morricone collaborator Patrick Sampson) and infuses proceedings with an off kilter weirdness that would certainly cross over to the 'analytical' art-house crowd. Budgetary mistakes or not - no other crime movie from the Middle East quite looks like this one - the first speechless 30 mins is a tour de force of mood and strangeness as our assassin anti hero stumbles in to a crazed orgiastic pot party following a frantic car chase. The Italian influence is prevalent throughout (particularly the deranged ambiance of Bergonzelli's surreal giallo In The Folds of the Flesh) and when we get to the shocking slaughter house face off Wolves Don't Eat Meat has already established itself as a left of centre masterpiece. There are some positive reviews on the site for this wonderful obscurity - ignore the more negative comments of the other 'critics' (I use this term very lightly) - it's OK to have opinions (be they negative or otherwise) but to ignore this movie would be WRONG.
"Wolves Don't Eat Meat" by Samir Khouri was banned in many Arabic countries due to its scenes of bloody violence,gratuitous full-frontal nudity and its political message.The director is from Lebanon and he worked on several movies in Italy including few Sergio Bergonzelli's movies."Wolves Don't Eat Meat" plays like the cross between action flick and erotic drama with some giallo elements thrown in.The cinematography is rough and the action scenes are highly intense.There are car chases,execution style killings,violent shoot-outs and masked killer on wheelchair.The orgy of violence in slaughterhouse has to be seen to be believed.In Arabic movies you can't show any nudity,but "Wolves Don't Eat Meat" contains plenty of naked female flesh.8 wolves out of 10.
The Egyptian Movies has A Lot Of Filmes With High Level Of Drama Or Romance Or Comedy Or Action Even Sports... "Ziab la Ta'Kohl AL lam" Was banned In Egypt Because It Content Nudity (Full Frontal Female Nudity) And This Kind Of Nudity Is Prohibited In The Egyptian Movies.. When I Saw this Movies I Felt Down... Fool Story.. Nude Actress.. Bad Action.. Some Horror & Awful Colors.. Dear Friend.. If You Wanna See A great Egyptian Movie...Simply: Stay Away Form "Ziab la Ta'Kohl AL lam".. We Have Great Movies In Egypt... We Have A Great Actors Who Won A Global Wins Like: Omar El Sheriff Or Gameel Rateb.. We Have Great Directors Like "Yousef Shahin" So Believe Me Pall.. You Don't Need To See This Movie..
I've heard a lot about that movie many years ago & i only had the chance to see it a week ago. Frankly i was really surprised and stunned of what i saw.The late Egyptian actress Nahed Sheriff gave it all in the movie with a few full frontal nude sex scenes leaving nothing to the imagination, also the Lebanese actress Silvana Baderkhan had her quite share of nudity as well. I believe the idea from this movie is copying American action movies in a middle eastern way, i give credit to the Lebanese director Sami Koury for convincing his Arab actresses to take it all off (not an easy job ) i dare some of the Hollywood actresses nowadays to do 20 % only of what those actresses did back in the early 70's. Too bad directors don't make movies like that in the Arab world anymore..It was the days before the Egyptian & Arab censorship on the movies..its not a masterpiece but if you like to see an erotic action Arabic movie, Go & see it because it's worth watching.
