Movie Reviews of War & Peace (1968)
Movie Review: Great film of all times
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of Tolstoy's War and Peace is definitely one of the greatest cinemaphotoghraphic achievements of all times. It gives pleasure to view and and view again. It is quite unlikely that something like this would ever happen again in the future.
Summary of War & Peace (1968)
Winner of Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, this classic brings all the passion and turbulence of Leo Tolstoy's epic masterpiece dramatically to the screen.Like Tolstoy's novel, this epic-length War and Peace is rough going, but worth the effort. Winner of the 1969 Academy Award? for Best Foreign Language Film and widely considered the most faithful adaptation of Tolstoy's classic, Sergei Bondarchuk's massive Soviet-Italian coproduction was seven years in the making, at a record-setting cost of $100 million. Bondarchuk himself plays the central role of Pierre Bezukhov, buffeted by fate during Russia's tumultuous Napoleonic Wars, serving as pawn and philosopher through some of the most astonishing set pieces ever filmed. Bondarchuk is a problematic director: interior monologues provide awkward counterpoint to intimate dramas, weaving together the many classes and characters whose lives are permanently affected by war. Infusions of '60s-styled imagery clash with the film's period detail; it's an anomalous experiment that doesn't really work. Undeniably, however, the epic battle scenes remain breathtakingly unique; to experience the sheer scale of this film is to realize that such cinematic extravagance will never be seen again. --Jeff Shannon
