Oh what it is to be young and all bright-eyed about the future. Little do any of us know about the trials and tribulations that await us in life. Some experiences are going to going to leave physical and emotional scars that are never going to fully heal. How is it that we can move forward from experiences like this? This is what we see in the film, Luxor.

Out today On Demand and Digital, Luxor is written and directed by Zenia Durra. It stars Andrea Riseborough, Karim Saleh, Michael Landes. The film follows a British aid worker named Hana that returns to the ancient city of Luxor, Egypt. She is haunted by her recent past and is now contemplating taking on another future assignment. As she struggles to reconcile her past choices with possible future ones she runs into Sultan. A talented archaeologist and a former lover. Together they will figure out how to move forward in a place that has stood still for centuries.

With Luxor‘s release today, LRM Online had the opportunity to talk with Karim Saleh, who plays the role of Sultan. During our conversation, one of the biggest topics is the relationship between Sultan and Hana. Their re-connection with each other has brought fourth feelings in both of them that predate their career paths. Now in one of the most well conserved ancient cities in the world, we find these two also stuck in the past. Hanna because of the horrors that she faced as an aid worker. As well as Sultan, who as we said before is an archaeologist whose job is to live in the past. We dive deep into both characters and also take some time to talk about what it was like to film in such historically rich areas. Check it out below!
