This movie has the most overwhelming battle sequences ever put to film. This clip is just the tip of the iceberg (doesn't even include any of the sequences shot from hot air balloon).

All four parts of Bondarchuk’s adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace (1966-1967), considered among the best films of all time, are now uploaded in Mosfilm’s YouTube account in glorious and restored 4K.

BREAKING: Iran has suspended its entire 60-day negotiation period with the US over the direct violation of the MOU's first clause, with Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon constituting a breach less than 24 hours after the MOU was electronically signed, per Fars and Al-Mayadeen.
Iran's negotiating delegation had already been preparing to depart for Switzerland to launch the first round of talks before Iran made the decision to suspend the entire trip.
Iran will also not unilaterally fulfill its commitments, and until Iran is fully assured Israeli attacks on Lebanon have stopped and the US has practically adhered to the first-clause obligations, talks remain cancelled.
