Product: Jerzy Hoffman's Sienkiewicz Trilogy DVD Set
Rating: 4.0
A fine effort.
Sienkiewicz work is always masterful and rich in its texture. The personal developments of the characters are far less involved than the books but when are they not in films? In spite of this the story is true to form and very much a visual feast, 17th century life is very well portrayed along with the inherent fears and prejudices that history is a study of. I'm sorry more Americans cannot enjoy Sienkiewicz's work but too few read and fox news requires so little thought. Subtitles must be out of the question.
