Borodino

About This Movie

So, 'Borodino' is a curious piece, really. It blends comedy and history in a way that’s hard to pin down. The whole thing feels like a nod to those silent films, which gives it a unique charm, right? You’ve got this light-hearted take on the serious business of war, particularly the infamous clash between the Russians and Napoleon's forces in 1812. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that's part of its appeal, almost like a tribute to the disjointed storytelling of early cinema. And the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain authenticity. The performances are exaggerated, fitting the sitcom style, which keeps it engaging. It’s definitely not your run-of-the-mill war film, that’s for sure.
