147 min | dir. Sergei Bondarchuk | NR | 1966
This is part one of the newly-restored WAR AND PEACE. Each of the four parts is ticketed separately at a $6.50 general admission ticket price, or just $5 for Members. At the height of the Cold War, 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. Employing a cast of thousands and an array of innovative camera techniques, director Sergei Bondarchuk conjures a sweeping vision of grand balls that glitter with rococo beauty and breathtaking battles that overwhelm with their expressionistic power.
