Wagner: The Complete Epic
Wagner: The Complete Epic ★★ 1985
The unedited version of the epic miniseries dramatizing the life of German composer Richard Wagner. The excellent photography does justice to the elaborate production, shot on some 200 different locations. The actors cringe in the presence of the subject's grandeur; Burton, a shell of his former cinematic self, is painful to watch in his last released film. Frankly, this is way too long. Also available in a edited 300-minute version, which is still too long. 540m/C VHS, DVD . GB HU Richard Burton, Vanessa Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Franco Nero; D: Tony Palmer. TV
