The Deluge (Potop) - Part 1

This is a "must see" of Polish cinema and literature. The sabre duel alone is worth the price of the DVD.

I like the films, but my review is meant to point out the vastly superior viewing experience with these blurays, as compared to the dvds put out by Polart. Polarts dvds are close to trash, whereas the production values (video and audio) of these blurays are very good. I would also note that the aspect ratio of these blurays is 2.35:1 (not 1.78:1, as noted above), making them truly widescreen.

Very enjoyable Historical Fiction Epic, set in 1630s Poland. I stress fiction; It’s based on a famous novel - which I have not read - but the historical backdrop is true. It has everything; Action, romance, humor, and of course political intrigue. Some things seem silly, like the hero’s too-obvious ‘plot armor’ that allows him to survive wounds that kill everyone else. But I can forgive that.For fellow Americans, this disk will work in your standard Blu-Ray player. However, in my case, accessing the english subtitles from the discs’s menu isn’t working correctly. Use your remote after the movie starts to switch to English subtitles.

Great film.

This is one of the most great, beautifull history, war, romantic, European movies .Hopefully it will be release in original screen aspect ratio and faithfull dialogue [ or subtile]. we don't mind paying litlebit more

Alles in bester Ordnung - Danke
