Pharaoh (Modern Trailer)

Pharaoh (1966)

Modern Trailer Edit by Dan McBride

Part of my trailer project - breathing some new life into older, forgotten or overlooked films.
Mainly to spread awareness of these great films and hopefully inspire more people to
seek them out.

Director - Jerzy Kawalerowicz

Synopsis - Young Pharaoh Ramses XIII clashes with Egypt's clergy over influence on the affairs of the state and its coffers.

I discovered this film rather recently thanks to the Martin Scorsese Polish Masterpieces Blu-Ray boxset. This is a widescreen epic that rivaled anything that came out of Hollywood during that period of time, and you’ll never convince me otherwise! One incredible composition after another, impressive long camera moves, and a commentary about naivety and the true nature of power. Timeless stuff really. Of course, a 3 hour-long subtitled Polish film about ancient Egypt isn't going to be for everyone, but if you enjoy this trailer, I urge you to seek it out! -- DM
