Mongol is all about the rise of Genghis Khan!

Mongol is a foreign film that’s so good it was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award, for some reason however it still hasn’t been put into wide release in North America?

Coming out in June, this film is only screening at a few select theaters in a few cities only, and in Toronto that means the Varsity Theater in the basement of the Manulife building at Bay and Bloor.

Mongol is an absolutely stunning historical epic by Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov. This movie is very similar to Conan the Barbarian, and I suppose Braveheart too, but in this case the hero, Temudjin (Ghengis Khan), gets lucky and marries a smart woman who actually saves his butt a few times - there's a twist.
