Mongol

The first part in Sergei Bodrov's triology about Genghis Khan made me very mad because I want to see all three right now. I only learned later that Bodrov had a very low budget for such a massive epic and that it was a joint effort between Germany, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia. The cinematography is incredible and most of it was filmed in Mongolia. Both the young and old actors that play Temujin (Genghis Khan) do a superb job and there is recognizable continuity between the two.
