Anti-Americanism a Hit With Egyptian Audiences

CAIRO -- A ballad drifted from the movie screen. The lyrics mourned a
lost love, not an unusual climax for an Egyptian film. But this lost
love was a place across the sea.
"New York," the singer asked, "why do you resist tenderness?"
It was music for the closing credits of "Alexandria . . . New York,"
the newest film by Egypt's leading director, Youssef Chahine. It is a
cinematic divorce paper. Chahine said he had long admired the United
States and its biggest city, but now he has made a film brimming with
resentment.
