Sergei Bodrov | Germany | Kazakhstan | Russia | 2007 | 125’

Sergei Bodrov’s expansive and enthralling period biopic serves up sweeping action, drama and emotion like a Mongolian Braveheart as it chronicles the early years of the great Genghis Khan. As young tribal warrior Temudgin – the boy who would be Khan – grows to manhood on the remote plains of Central Asia, he fends off enemies, avenges his father’s death and finds true love (and family) with pugnacious bride Borte, before being kidnapped by slave-trading adversaries and unleashing the world-conquering warlord within. The movie paints a vividly accurate portrait of life in this unforgiving region: you can smell the yurts and yaks, and surrender to the exotic sounds of throat singing. The widescreen landscape photography is often ravishing, grey sky and green grass blurring in soft washes of misty morning pallor as sunlight creeps across the steppes.

Mae’r ffilm afaelgar hon yn croniclo blynyddoedd cynnar yr enwog Gengis Khan. Mae Temudgin – sef y Khan ifanc, yn cael ei fagu ar wastadoedd anghysbell Canol Asia, ardal anfaddeugar caiff ei phortreadu’n gelfydd yn y ffilm. Yn llawn emosiwn a drama, rhyfela, cariad a thalu’r pwyll yn ôl, cofiwch ddod i weld y Braveheart o Fongolia.
