Pharaoh

“Out of Ancient Egypt - The Real... Dramatic Struggle of Love And Power - 5000 Years B.C”

Ramesses XIII (Jerzy Zelnik) is a young, untried pharaoh who takes the throne of Egypt with plenty of ambition and little experience. The priests have long held the power and the treasury, and he sets himself against them. Jerzy Kawalerowicz, adapting Bolesław Prus's novel, shows a ruler who still has nothing in his hands but his own stubborn will.
