Sultan Beybars

1989 · 141 min

A stately, reflective historical epic that moves at its own ceremonial pace, asking patience as it drifts between a ruler's memories and his battles.

Overview
The second part of a historical film dilogy based on the story “Emshan” by Maurice Simashko. XIII century. Equal to God, Sultan Beybars — the ruler of Egypt, who has the largest fleet in the Mediterranean, crushed the Crusader troops and countless hordes of Genghis Khan's descendant – recalls the life path he passed before ascending to the throne of the ruler.
