Tolstoy’s masterpiece in impressive four-parter

Like The Secret Garden (below, right), Tolstoy’s masterpiece has had more than its fair share of adaptations over the years. One of the least-known yet most impressive is this opulent four-part mini-series from 2007, featuring an international cast that includes the wonderful Clémence Poésy (below), Malcolm McDowell and Brenda Blethyn. The story – involving the impact of the Napoleonic era on five aristocratic Russian families – remains as gripping as ever. Acorn TV, from Monday
