Tolstoy’un destansı başyapıtı, yönetmen Sergei Bondarchuk tarafından kusursuz bir şekilde beyazperdeye aktarılıyor. Oscar ödüllü bu başyapıtta, Rusya’da 1805’de başlayan olaylar dizisi, beş aristokrat ailenin öyküsü etrafında anlatılır ve 1812’de Napolyon’un Rusya’yı işgaliyle zirve yapar. Tolstoy’un dört ciltlik bu dev eserindeki tarihi detayların inanılmaz bir özenle aktarıldığı filmde, 45 dakikalık savaş sahneleri o kadar gerçekçidir ki çekimlerde 120.000 kişilik bir ordu oluşturulmuş ve pek çok at öldürülmüştür. Sovyetler Birliği’ndeki müzelerden alınan eşyaların kullanıldığı film, gerçeğe son derece yakındır. "Savaş ve Barış", aynı adlı romandaki duyguları ve atmosferi de başarıyla sinema diline aktarır. "Edebiyatla sinemanın kusursuz evliliği" olarak nitelendirilen filmin çekimleri tam yedi yıl sürmüş, yapımda binlerce oyuncu rol almış ve dönemin koşullarında 100 milyon dolara mal olmuştur.

The new film about Sergei Bondarchuk is not a traditional description of the life of a famous director and not a biopic timed to coincide with a round date. The creators of the film focus on a unique period in the history of world cinema - the post-war "thaw" euphoria and the time of great hopes, the key character of which was the author of "War and Peace". What was this man and cinematographer who shot both chamber dramas and megalomaniac battle projects? And how did he, the winner of many USSR awards, manage to become a figure of world significance and a link between the two superpowers during the Cold War era?

Shakespeare's 17th century masterpiece about the "Melancholy Dane" was given one of its best screen treatments by Soviet director Grigori Kozintsev. Kozintsev's Elsinore was a real castle in Estonia, utilized metaphorically as the "stone prison" of the mind wherein Hamlet must confine himself in order to avenge his father's death. Hamlet himself is portrayed (by Innokenti Smoktunovsky) as the sole sensitive intellectual in a world made up of debauchers and revellers. Several of Kozintsev directorial choices seem deliberately calculated to inflame the purists: Hamlet's delivers his "To be or not to be" soliloquy with his back to the camera, allowing the audience to fill in its own interpretations.
