Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s dazzling epic revolves around a Iethal power struggle in ancient Egypt. As the youthful Ramses XlII ascends the throne, he clashes with powerfuI priests who seek to undermine his ambition to become the greatest Pharaoh in history. With stunningly choreographed sequences and spectacuIar cinematography, Pharaoh evokes a world characterised by rigid hierarchy, mysterious ritual and often brutal conflict. This mesmerising film is anchored in ideas as welI as spectacle – exposing a society distorted by fear, betrayaI and hypocrisy.
