War and Peace [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Loved loved loved this mini series. However those of you hoping this is the BBC version I have some bad news. All you have to do is compare the total runtime between this version and the UK release to see that this is the US release and not the BBC version. The BBC version has a total run time of 6 hours and 10 minutes while this only has a total runtime of 5 hours and 54 minutes. Its only 16 minutes but to true fans its alot. It doesn’t bother me but it will bother others. Again I loved this adaptation, I loved the casting. Its a new favorite of mine.- JESSICA BUCHANAN

My wife an I were blown away by how well done this TV series is. I’ve read Tolstoy and know how profound his descriptions of life can be. But this series really made me think about what life is all about, with it’s joys and sorrows in good times and bad. I was very moved. They quality was there. And they didn’t resort to the usual vulgarity found in so many TV series and movies today. I can only hope that BBC or other companies make more wonderful TV series like this in the future. Thank you BBC for creating a great product that thinking people can enjoy.-Deal Hunter

This adaptation of the Tolstoy masterpiece sticks closely to the events in the novel. Paul Dano is particularly moving as Pierre Bezukhov and Lily James and James Norton are an attractive pair of mismatched lovers. The war scenes are well staged and not too gory. Overall, a good version which inspired me to re-read the novel.- Wabi Savvy
