Handlung und Inhalt:
El Cid LTD. – Novobox Klassiker Edition LTD. begins with Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar, also known as El Cid, as a young knight under King Ferdinand of Spain. Upon the King’s death, El Cid is erroneously accused of treason by the new queen, and his journey of proving his loyalty to the crown intensifies.

Filmkritik:
El Cid LTD. – Novobox Klassiker Edition LTD. is a powerful recounting of a historical legend, toweringly epic in its visions of warfare and politics of the time. The film does not shy away from displaying the dark side of the hero – his emotional turmoil and political struggles. Such vulnerability adds dimensions to an otherwise flawless hero, rendering him human, relatable.
The film is every bit as splendid as the man it portrays, with massively staged battle scenes and castle sieges. The nitty-gritty of politics is portrayed with painstaking accuracy, and the romantic angle never feels forced.
