Sergei Bondarchuk, Ludmila Savelyeva, Vyacheslav Tikhonov.
A titanic, awe-inspiring adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic tome in which the fates of three souls: the blundering, good-hearted Pierre; the heroically tragic Prince Andrei; and the radiant, tempestuous Natasha, collide amid the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars. Employing a cast of thousands and an array of innovative camera techniques, the director conjures a sweeping vision of grand balls that glitter with rococo beauty and breathtaking battles that overwhelm with their expressionistic power.
DVD, wide screen (2.35:1); Dolby digital 5.1.
Contents: Voĭna i mir.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Movie, and Great Introduction by this woman critic or whatever. submitted by Tassos on September 12, 2019, 9:33am This may have cost $1 billion to make, or it would, if the Soviets charged the production with all the help they got from the military, men, planes etc for MONTHS or YEARS.

A humongous movie in 3 DVDs. I have seen it and would see it again now.

Far more faithful to Tolstoy's Masterpiece than the silly Hollywood King Vidor soap opera of 1956 with the same title.
