Khaberni - During a seminar held for him on the sidelines of his participation in the "Hollywood Festival for Arab Films" in Los Angeles, the artist Ahmed El Saadani revealed new details about his participation in the film "For Us in Fantasy Love," explaining that the role brought him special human emotions close to his personal reality. He confirmed that he had to turn to a psychiatrist to discuss whether to take on the film or not, after actually experiencing similar events to those in the movie following the death of his young wife.
El Saadani said, "I met my wife at the academy and she died early. I didn't feel that the movie was far from me. I asked my doctor whether I should do the role or not, since I felt many real emotions in it, and the doctor told me it was a good opportunity to release the suppressed feelings inside me, so thanks to my profession that I can express what I'm feeling."
He pointed out that the character he presents in the film was particularly impactful on him because it brought him back to deep human emotions and experiences, affirming that art for him is a space for honest expression of both pain and joy together.
