Part 2 centered on the flowering of Natasha, her first ball, first love, first heartache. She was played by a stunning young actress who epitomized a tempestuous young Russian princess.
The ballroom sequence was the best directed I've ever seen. Sumptuous, moving...satisfying in every way.
Part 3 reenacted the Battle of Borodino in amazing detail with the proverbial cast of thousands. I don't think anything more spectacular has ever graced the screen.
This film is truly a masterwork...one of the great works of world cinema.
