Review of Cleopatra (1963) by Gracjanski — 02 Nov 2021

You can see the big budget on the pictures: expensive clothes, many extras and so on. The story itself is good and with a lot of political intrigues, but it is being told slowly and thats the problem of the movie. It is too long.

Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra is acting great and sexy, but she is sexy all the time. After the half of the movie it is getting annoying. Richard Burton is also convincing. But the behaviours of the characters are a bit odd and artificial.
