If you loved 55 Tage in Peking, try El Cid
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theysit in Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to 55 Tage in Peking, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What El Cid is
For those who find Ben-Hur too subtle. El Cid must choose between love and duty as he defends 11th-century Spain from invasion. It's three hours long, so he has plenty of time to decide.
