Bondarchuk's War and Peace - War and Peace review by CH

Spoiler Alert
28/02/2021

You won''t need any persuading that this is the greatest screen adaptation of War and Peace. The Russian government threw vast sums of money at the 1960's production of this Tolstoy epic in a move to eclipse the 1950's American version. The troubled relations between feudal Czarist Russia, divisive European Emperors and the upstart adventurer Napolean Bonaparte form the backdrop of War and Peace. If you don't have time to read Tolstoy's great book then watch this poignant masterpiece instead.
