About The Fall of Otrar
A staggering historical epic about the intrigue and turmoil of the East Asian civilization of Otrar, before its systematic destruction at the hands of Genghis Khan.
Directed by Ardak Amirkulov, The Fall of Otrar leans on a strong ensemble — Dokhturbek Kydyraliev, Tungyshbai Zhamankulov, Bolot Beyshenaliev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about war titles of 1991.
