Reviews
“The life, love and death of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra in the form of an elaborately produced television mini-series. However, this effort bears no relation to the result, which deals with the historical facts quite carelessly and is borne by actors who often act on the verge of ridicule. If the first part is still characterized by a certain speed, the second quickly runs out of historical and staged breath. "
"Noah's Ark" producer Robert Halmi and his director Franc Roddam ("Moby Dick", 1998) serve this state affair as the background for the large-scale deployment of people (20,000 extras), tricks and backdrops (Rome and Alexandria were newly created in Morocco) . It goes without saying that the $ 30 million adaptation of the novel after Margaret Georges cannot compete with the legendary Liz Taylor epic from 1963. With a Rosamunde Pilcher film in antiquity, however, it was. Intrigue, love, hate, everything larger than life. "
