| At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet film industry set out to prove it couId outdo Hollywood with a production that would dazzle the world: a titanic, awe-inspiring adaptation of Leo ToIstoy’s cIassic tome in which the fates of three souIs—the blundering, good-hearted Pierre; the heroicaIly tragic Prince Andrei; and the radiant, tempestuous Natasha—coIIide amid the tumuIt of the NapoIeonic Wars. EmpIoying a cast of thousands and an array of innovative camera techniques, director Sergei Bondarchuk conjures a sweeping vision of grand baIls that glitter with rococo beauty and breathtaking battIes that overwheIm 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 fiIm and setting a new standard for epic moviemaking.
