Youssef Chahin has a serious, albeit funny, face. I illustrated him like a pirouette: his eyes dizzy with excitement at the prospect of being awarded yet another prize. He was most certainly one of the stars of the Venice Film Festival. After all, didn't he win the Palme d'Or at Cannes? We are all proud of you, Chahin. Bravo.
