Review

Reportedly the most expensive Russian film ever made, with final costs exceeding $100,000,000, this Academy Award-winning epic is a dazzling and monumental portrait of Russia during the Napoleonic Wars of 1805-1812. This definitive version of Tolstoy's classic novel follows four aristocratic families and the effects of Napoleon's onslaught of Europe and Russia on their lives. The spectacular battle sequences are considered the best ever filmed, with the director using over 120,000 soldiers. An amazing film experience best suited to the big screen; but see it on video, because when was the last time War and Peace played your local movie house? (English subtitled)
