A review by lucaswalzer
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
5.0
Yes, I definitely read the novel “War and Peace” and definitely didn’t watch the 7 hour film by Russian filmmaker Sergei Bondarchuk, which contained some of the finest directing, production design, and cinematography ever conceived for the screen; I also definitely didn’t spend 50 dollars on the Criterion blu ray and watch it all in one sitting…
Anyways, here’s a hard-ass quote from the film that may or may not have moved me to tears.
“Never, to the end of his life, had he the least comprehension of goodness, of beauty or of truth, or of the
significance of his actions, which were too contrary to goodness and truth, too remote from everything human for him ever to understand their meaning.”
