Yippiiiiiie http://www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/1102232/War_And_Peace_Collector_Edition/Product.html At long last.

And as it looks like the Ruscico transfer, it will be in wide screen, which is the ONLY way to watch this masterpiece. The transfer is not the best of the best - due to the source material avalable - but still quite watchable http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReview/warandpeace.htm

It's a very big book.
the dvd it will have n englsih sound option
The Russian language version, for obvious reasons, is to be prefered to the English one IMHO. Give it a try, you don't have to watch the movie in one go.

War and peace is a russian book turned into english what makes it differnt from a movie being dubbed in another laungage.

reply

what makes it differnt from a movie being dubbed in another laungage.
I assume that's a question.

War and peace is a novel that it is very important to Russians as it gets right down to the Russian soul and it is, therefore, logical that you should hear how Russian actors portrait the (many) characters. I suggest that you switch back and forth between the two languages so that you can hear the difference for yourself.

Do you know if the censor, whoops sorry British Board of Film Classification, has cut any of the horsefalls? This happened with 'Waterloo'. Twenty two seconds of cuts - all from the cavalry charges. 'War and Peace' has some horrendous horse falls, worse than 'Waterloo'.

reply

I don't know, bit it would be terrible if the censor did that. I have got the Russian DVD, so no problems there.

reply

Will it have an english soundtrack option if i choose to listern to it in english.

reply

Have a look at the link I gave in my first post.

reply

There is no english soundtrack for the war and peace dvd i have looked everywhere only subtitles damn

reply

There is no english soundtrack for the war and peace dvd...
Strange that. The Beaver says:

"Audio Russian, English, French (Dolby Digital 5.1 )

Subtitles: Russian, English, French, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Herbew, None
"

and that is exactly what I have got on my (Russian) DVD.
