La Mort de Pompée

1961 · 111 min

A stately, talk-heavy historical drama of political maneuvering, where the tension comes from waiting and calculation rather than action.

Genres
Drama, History
Overview
Political ambitions sometimes lead to the downfall of those who formulate them. For Ptolemy, assassinating Pompey was an opportunity to get into Caesar's good graces. Once the crime is committed, Ptolemy impatiently awaits recognition from Caesar. But a completely different fate awaits Cleopatra's brother.
