So my excitement was palpable when I started watching Mongol. I was about to see how one man ruled nearly the entire Asian content for more than two decades. Or was I…? Plot: • In late 12th-century Mongolia, young Temudgin (Odnyam Odsuren), aka the future Genghis Khan, is choosing his bride at age nine with the guidance of his father and ruling khan, Esugei (Ba Sen). • Later, Esugei is poisoned by an enemy tribe and dies, and his kingdom is ransacked by one of his lieutenants, Targutai (Amadu Mamadakov) – who vows to return when Temudgin is older and kill him to prevent the boy from getting revenge as an adult. • Fast forward a dozen years, and we follow the trials and tribulations of adult Temudgin (Tadanobu Asano) – watching him suffer through slavery, the quest to reunite with his child bride Borte (Khulan Chuluun), his strained relationship with childhood “brother” Jamukha (Honglei Sun), and his quest for revenge against Targutai. Critique: • You may be surprised to know that Mongol is not about epic battles and Genghis Khan’s domination of Asia. It plays more as drama than war epic, with long bouts of exposition and an underlying love story. Yet don’t be mistaken, there are several battle sequences between warring tribes, and they’re masterfully shot in all their impaling, blood-splashing glory. • Russian-born director Sergei Bodrov keeps Mongol moving at a methodical pace, using unexpectedly deep dialogue (with co-writer Arif Aliyev) as well as sweeping cinematography by Sergey Trofimov and Rogier Stoffers of sprawling deserts, snow-covered terrain, and thick, green mountains – plus an incredible scene near the film’s end of Temudgin riding on horseback during a thunderstorm. • Japanese film star Asano is a revelation as the adult Temudgin – bringing the commanding presence, piercing gaze, and steely reserve needed to take on such a larger-than-life historical figure. • Mongol was nominated for (and won) a slew of international awards, including a 2008 Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. As for the abovementioned absence of large-scale battles and one man’s domination of a continent, be patient… Bodrov is developing The Great Khan for 2010, with Asano and Chuluun reprising their roles. I can hardly wait.

INFO RedateljSergej Bodrov GlumciTadanobu Asano, Honglei Sun, Khulan Chuluun, Aliya , Ba Sen, Amadu Mamadakov, He Qi, Ben Hon Sun Sažetak Azija, početak 13. stoljeća. Ratnik Esugei Kan (Ba Sen) i njegov devetogodišnji sin Temudžin (Tadanobu Asano) jašu stepom prema plemenu Merkita. Esugei želi sklopiti mir s Merkitima time da njegov sin oženi jednu od njihovih pripadnica. Na putu prenoće kod drugog plemena gdje Temudžin upozna djevojku Boerte (Khulan Chuluun). Dječak priopći ocu da je našao nevjestu i iako se to protivi očevu planu, on pristane. Na povratku u svoj tabor, Esugeia otruju neprijatelji, a članovi njegova vlastita plemena ukradu mu svu stoku te izaberu novoga vođu i sruše logor ostavljajući njegovu obitelj u stepi. Temudžin provodi dane u lovu i strpljivo čeka dan kad će se osvetiti zbog očeve smrti... Vrlo lijepo snimljen u sjevernoj Kini i Kazahstanu, pomno odabranih kostima i fizionomija glumaca, film je uvjerljiva slika povijesnog razdoblja; zanimljiva priča koja daje i ljudsku crtu velikom vladaru, uglavnom poznatom kao nemilosrdnom i okrutnom. Film je bio nominiran za Oscara za najbolji strani film, a kritika ga je pozitivno ocijenila.
