War and Peace (1966). A Russian Prince experiences battle against Napoleon and a troubled relationship with his father and wife. Finds acceptance of her death and eventually his chance of true love. A spoiled, high-society fickle young woman loves and her years of unhappiness. A Count illegitimate, idler son reflects on politics and friendship. Experiences his first and hopeless love, is forced into a marriage with serious consequences and finally survives Napoleon invasion of Moscow and its aftermath.

At over 7 hours, this film is best viewed as more of a mini-series than a movie. It’s long, and it really does feel it when you settle in to watch it in one viewing. That said, it really is very good - it’s beautifully shot, with strong performances and well-staged scenes. It’s well and truly worth the watch, and probably one of the better adaptations of Tolstoy’s story, but it’d be a good idea to space out your viewing. 7.5/10.
