Product: Jerzy Hoffman's Sienkiewicz Trilogy DVD Set
Rating: 5.0
just a thought
Jerzy Hoffman TrilogyWhile no movie will ever surpass reading of a book (especially in the language it was written), I found Jerzy Hoffman's Trilogy outstanding. Little surprise that Sienkiewicz took the Nobel, and Hoffman's production Oscar nominations. The production details are meticulous from horses to costumes to countryside to the portrayal of one of the ever so tumultuous periods of Polish history. While filmed at intervals over a period of 30 years, and backwards no less (that is to say the last book was filmed first, and the first book last), the production detailing remains of the highest quality. There is a little something for the action buff, the romantic, and the historian. I am very much impressed and highly recommend this product.
