Surrrre...

I saw your post but kept quiet because I had written on that film many times before, didn't want to become overbearing here.

I didn't get the "Soviet" flavor - I thought it was philosophical and basically true to the book. Are you well familiar with the Tolstoy classic? It is mandatory. My wife can be irritating when watching that film - she likes to say the lines before the actors get chance. She seems to remember it all - all 10 million pages.

I am not in that category, but I remember the feel and of course know most of the story and characters.

I was too young to appreciate it when it came out, I thought it was way tooo boring, especially the first part. But as we watched it recently, I liked it - but I am so much more older... I mean mature.

Like any other large work it has bad moments too, but there are quite a few strong points - I woun't even bother mentioning the 45 minute Borodino... some of the greatest actors and enough historical content to make it very interesting.

Have you done part II yet? I am expecting my 5-DVD Ruscico set to arrive shortly, and then I think I will manage to talk my wife into watching it again. The work is deep and even if you know almost every move you still find plenty to enjoy.

Tikhonov, Ktorov, Strzhel'chik, Efremov, Trofimov, many others... what a list!

Does your set also say Ruscico on it? According to clark it is supposed to be great in image quality and sound. If yours is not, wait for me to take a look, and if the Ruscico is indeed what they way it is, run to ebay and get yourself another copy before continuing the torture.
