Pharaoh 12A

Kawalerowicz spent three years making what was once Poland's most expensive film, a huge widescreen epic about the struggle between Ramesses XIII (Jerzy Zelnik) and his high priests.

Previously released internationally only in a severely truncated version, Pharaoh has now been restored to its spectacular original form.
