I really enjoy Hoffman's films, especially his trilogy based on the Henryk Sienkiewicz (Quo Vadis) novels set in 17th Century Poland. The Deluge (Potop) is the second of three, the first is With Fire and Sword and the last is Colonel Wolodyjowski. A Polish BD of With Fire and Sword was released some years ago and it has become a favorite. This newly restored five hour version of the director's cut of Potop will be released on blu-ray on April 14. It is in Polish with English subtitles. Enjoy a trailer of it over at http://bluedvd.pl/potop-redivivus-blu-ray.html Potop is grand historical adventure, and was an Oscar nominee in 1975. You can find it on ebay, as well. I'll report back when my BD arrives.
