Mongol is first major film about the life of Genghis Kahn and is the first instalment of the Mongol trilogy. Genghis Kahn is one of the most famous leaders in world history. He was the creator of a vast Mongolian Empire that conquered half the globe. He was known as a merciless and fearless warrior but also a loyal and deeply spiritual man. Mongol - Part one tells the story of how the young Temudzhin fought back from slavery to become Genghis Kahn - leader of the Mongols.
Temudzhin (Tadanobu Asano), the son of a Mongolian tribal leader, falls in love with the young Mongol girl Börte (Khulan Chuluun) and remains faithful to her even as his father is murdered and he himself is sold into slavery. After years of imprisonment, Temudzhin escapes and goes to war to fight for his slain father and his love Börte whom he had never forgotten. Through these epic battles he discovers his true calling; as Khan he must unite all the Mongol tribes and lead his subjects to a secure future.
Shot on location in Mongolia and from the producers of Run Lola, run, Mongol is an epic movie about a man who has cast his shadow over history for over 1000 years.

Theatrical report
Mongol is a good little drama about nomads living in yurts, with a few cool battle scenes thrown in for good measure. It's long - and there's at least one more part to go - but if you're the type who watches films with subtitles you're also the type who likes a lot of potato with their meat (or buuz with your bansh).
The biography, Genghis Kahn, history movie Mongol - Part one is directed by Sergei Bodrov and stars Tadanobu Asano, Khulan Chuluun, Amadu Mamadakov.
