Amazing! Colossal! And it’s good, too! ‘Gone With the Wind’ is a tempest in a teacup compared to this jaw-dropping adaptation of the Tolstoy classic: seven hours of artful splendor, passionate characters, map-altering politics and the biggest, most spectacular battle scenes ever filmed. Sergei Bondarchuck has it all in control; the new restoration gives Soviet show color and clarity we’ve never seen before. Two discs, four parts, no waiting. Cover charge may apply.
