Tuomas Kantelinen's Mongol
5-Aug-2008 - Varèse Sarabande has - finally - released Mongol, the story of Genghis Khan, one of the most famous leaders in world history. He was the creator of a vast Mongolian Empire who conquered half of the globe. Based on leading scholarly accounts and written by Bodrov and Arif Aliyev, MONGOL delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. Tuomas Kantelinen's score for Mongol is a grand, barbaric symphonic onslaught.
