Gilgamesh is a landmark cinematic achievement — the first ever film adaptation of the ancient Mesopotamian epic that stands as one of humanity's oldest surviving works of literature. Inscribed on twelve clay tablets dating back roughly five thousand years, the epic recounts the legendary exploits of the mighty king Gilgamesh and his profound quest for immortality. By bringing this foundational narrative to the screen for the first time, the film bridges millennia, inviting contemporary audiences to connect with the earliest stories ever recorded by human civilisation and the timeless questions they pose about mortality, friendship, and the limits of power.
