Sinekatalog’s take
An early Turkish historical epic about a famous siege, with palace intrigue and betrayal. It has a pioneering, stagey charm and a sincere sense of occasion. An interesting watch for those curious about the roots of Turkish historical cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
