CAIRO (AFP) — Egyptian film-maker Youssef Chahine, Arab cinema's most celebrated director, died on Sunday aged 82 after several weeks in a coma, his friend and fellow director Khaled Yussef said.
"Youssef Chahine died this morning at 3:30," said Yussef, who co-directed Chahine's latest film "Chaos" in 2007.
A funeral ceremony will be held in Cairo on Monday, Yussef said, before Chahine is buried in the family crypt in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria where he was born, Egypt's official MENA news agency said.
"He was one of the most important film-makers in the world, not just in the Arab world," renowned Egyptian actor Nur al-Sherif told AFP after the death was announced, paying tribute to Chahine's "different" style of cinema.
