KHARTOUM (1966)

Khartoum - Der Aufstand am Nil

subtitles: Dutch, Dansk, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish

Genre: WAR, DRAMA

PLOT:

Set in the expanse of the Sudan desert in the midst of holy war, Khartoum (1966) plays like an attempt to work the Lawrence of Arabia magic on the (mostly) true story of eccentric British general Charles "Chinese" Gordon in 1884 North Africa. The magnificent opening desert battle suggests David Lean's epic sweep, at least until the film settles into a more modest story of political games, military standoffs, and a battle of wits and wiles between two fierce leaders. Charlton Heston plays the wily Christian soldier as cocky, unconventional maverick, and Laurence Olivier (behind heavy make-up and a thick black beard) is almost as good as his cagey nemesis the Mahdi, the Islamic holy warrior on a mission of annihilation. More talk than spectacle, the film falls short of Lawrence but is nonetheless a compelling story of colonial politics, cynical maneuvering, and the unconventional heroics of another colorful British maverick abroad.

Sudan, 1843:

Eigensinnig verteidigt General Gordon (Charlton Heston) die anglo-ägyptische Hauptstadt Khartoum gegen die Armee des Moslemführers Mahdi (Laurence Olivier) - und scheitert an seinem eigenen Stolz. Für die atemberaubenden Wüstenschlachten sorgte der Stunt-Spezialist und Oscar-Preisträger Yakima Canutt, der bereits Monumentalwerke wie "Ben Hur" und "Spartakus" mit spektakulären Effekten bereichert hatte. MGM Home Entertainment bringt das Drama am Nil erstmals in Deutschland auf DVD auf den Markt.
