DESCRIPTION:
Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov's soundtrack to Sergey Bondarchuk's monumental adaptation of the Tolstoy novel "War and Peace".

French stragglers in the custody of the Russian army lead the camp in a song (a song honouring the first Bourbon King, interestingly). A brotherhood is rediscovered in the harsh winter night that supersedes the political climate. The scene of a crowd forming around a great bonfire transitions to Kutuzov's victory speech and the humiliation of the captured eagle-banners.
