Peter der Große

I saw in childhood, not knowing very much about the main character. But the performance of Maximilian Schell, like the couple scenes, impressive for violence are, today, after almost 40 years, fresh in my memory.

After a time, I saw it again. And, against the mistakes about history events, the powerful emotion , the high interest were sustained by the beautiful acting, the impressive cast.

A film about power and its status of heart of radical transformation of a too old world.

The sketch of portrait for an extraordinary man , crafting his destiny.

And, near the effort from Judgment at Nurnberg, a great role created by admirable Maximilian Schell.
