War and Peace - 60th Anniversary

At the height of the Cold War and spurred on by a poorly received 1956 Hollywood adaptation of the novel, the Soviet film industry set out to prove it could outdo Hollywood with a production that would dazzle the world: a titanic, awe-inspiring adaptation of Tolstoy’s classic tome.<br>60 years on this cinematic statement remains a four-part marvel that entangles audiences with the fates of three souls - the blundering, good-hearted Pierre; the heroically tragic Prince Andrei; and the radiant, tempestuous Natasha - as they collide amid the tumult of the Napoleonic Wars.&nbsp;<br>Director Sergei Bondarchuk conjures a sweeping vision of grand balls that glitter with rococo beauty and breathtaking battles that overwhelm with their expressionistic power. With no expense spared and the full might of the Soviet army, the epic employed a cast of thousands and introduced an array of innovative camera techniques that still dazzle today.&nbsp;<br>War and Peace succeeded wildly in its intention, garnering the Academy Award for best foreign-language film and setting a new standard for epic moviemaking, its monumental production to be unrepeatable and unique in the annals of film history.<br><b>2K DCP digital restoration by Mosfilm and Janus Films.</b><br><i>In Russian Language with English Subtitles</i><br><br>HistoryPT7H17MCTC2026-10-17
