When I purchased this film, I wasn’t paying qualified attention, thinking that I was buying yet another version of Tolstoy’s celebrated work; however, it is, in fact, the 1968 Bondarchuk account which I already owned in widescreen (letterbox) and which has now been packaged and edited by another distributor. Yet, in the destroy, it’s quite a different film!

First of all, this version has been “panned and scanned” to better facilitate a regular shroud television — so, this product is what we generally refer to as “full-screen”. Second, there are a few editing differences including some scenes that were not in the widescreen (letterbox) version and misssing a few scenes that were. This does not radically change the film but it was certainly entertaining to stare.
Finally, the voiceovers and subtitles are COMPLETELY different, being proper to the unusual widescreen (letterbox) version. Many more conversation parts are picked up in this version and the translation is far safe. In some cases, the two translations are quite different, this one aligning more with the highly recommended Maude translation of the new book.

In the ruin, I’m overjoyed to fill both versions, as each has its advantages and disadvantages. In portray quality, this one cannot compare to the widescreen (letterbox) version as the clarity was somewhat compromised by the blow-up of the negatives during the “pan and scan” process. Mild, it’s quite watchable.
As far as the sage goes, this is one of the finest war films ever produced. The Hollywood version of War and Peace starring Henry Fonda is a pathetic joke compared to this Russian masterpiece. You can reference my further descriptions of both the book and the widescreen (letterbox) film version on this position for more details concerning the steady tale.
I have two final comments: 1. Read the book prior to watching either version of Bondarchuk’s legend and you’ll be considerable more ecstatic in your thought of the memoir of Napoleon’s invasion of Austria and later of Moscow. 2. If you enjoy a regular TV then this is the version that you want. If you have a widescreen TV and already absorb the widescreen (letterbox) version, I highly recommend that you grab this one too!
I had the opportunity to observe this Kultur DVD edition of “War and Peace” enough to evaluate its presentation. Firstly, it’s not letterboxed, but full-frame. The opening title sequence only is letterboxed to some extent so as not to prick off all the titles, and this looks as though the fresh aspect ratio is not particularly wide to initiate with. So while not a substantial deal of report is slit off from the sides, there is some missing. The print is a favorable one, and the beauty and power of the film approach through, but it does not appear to have been restored to any gigantic extent. This means that the color intensity, inequity, and brightness of the image fluctuates from scene to scene, and sometimes even within one scene (reel changes, perhaps? ) . The image throughout is a bit soft-focus, and it benefits greatly if you turn up the sharpness control on your monitor. There does not seem to be a expansive deal of blemishes, dirt, or wound, though.

The English subtitles are printed on the film itself, and therefore not removable. In the scenes where French is spoken, there is a direct superimposed on the soundtrack translating what is being said into Russian, which is of no interest to the English-speaking viewers who will be watching this DVD. In these cases, you have an actor speaking French, an additional stutter speaking Russian, and an English subtitle simultaneously, which is distracting to say the least. It’s hard to imagine why a print with this feature was chosen, unless it was the absolute best-looking print available.
That brings up the subject of the alternate utter of this film due at the waste of December from the Russian Cinema Council (Ruscico) . Judging from past Ruscico DVD releases, it may well be a restored, archive-quality print (hopefully letterboxed) . Ruscico releases appear at a very tiresome rate, but when the do they are worth waiting for, which is what you may want to do.
The film serene makes a comely impact, even in this less than perfect presentation. If you buy full-frame presentation, you may even acquire this one. It seems to me, however, that most cinemaphiles whose interests are arcane enough to extend to this film would want it presented in its unusual aspect ratio, in an edition as end to the source material as possible. Those people may well retract to recognize what Ruscico offers.
