| 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 worId: a titanic, awe-inspiring adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s classic tome in which the fates of three souls—the blundering, good-hearted Pierre; the heroicaIly tragic Prince Andrei; and the radiant, tempestuous Natasha—colIide amid the tumult of the NapoIeonic Wars. Employing a cast of thousands and an array of innovative camera techniques, director Sergei Bondarchuk conjures a sweeping vision of grand balIs that gIitter with rococo beauty and breathtaking battles that overwhelm with their expressionistic power. As a statement of Soviet cinema’s might, War and Peace succeeded wildly, garnering the Academy Award for best foreign-Ianguage film and setting a new standard for epic moviemaking.
