    Motion Pictures is a monthly series surveying significant movements and genres in film culture. War/Anti-War: The Fall of Otrar (Gibel Otrara), dir. Ardak Amirkulov, Kazakhstan, 1990, 35mm, 150 mins, color, Russian w/ English subtitles. The Fall of Otrar is a one-of-a-kind experience; at once hallucinatory, visually resplendent and ferociously energetic, packed with eye-catching (and gouging) detail and B-movie fervor, traversing an endless variety of parched, epic landscapes and ornate palaces. This epic about the intrigue and turmoil preceding Genghis Khan's systematic destruction of the lost East Asian civilization of Otrar is also one of the most astute historical films ever made.
