Reviews:
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: “Mongol, from its thrilling battles to its intimate romance, has the look, scale, story and feel of an old-fashioned epic in the best and biggest sense of the word.”

Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: “The battle sequences are tremendous, and the performances are captivating, making for the sort of rousing, giant-scale entertainment that a figure as towering as Genghis Khan deserves.”

Mongol follows the life and legend of Genghis Khan (Tadanobu Asano) from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny. Painting a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, Bodrov’s depiction shows the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte (Khulan Chuluun). Filmed in the very lands that gave birth to Genghis Khan, Mongol transports us back to a distant and exotic period in world history; to a nomad's landscape of endless space, climatic extremes and ever-present danger. With the melodrama as thick as the blood throughout the spectacular battle sequences, Asano's soulful performance brings this little-understood historical icon passionately to life.
