1864 looks good, but an eight-hour TV miniseries won't be released until this Fall
in Denmark, and a feature film to be released at the Berlin Film Festival in 2015.

A Czech based 1866 Prussian unit I'm FB friends with is in it as extras.

Re: 1864

This is being released on Blu-ray and DVD in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2015.
No word on a U.S. release. My guess is that with Danish spoken with English sub-
titles it won't be. Another reason to get a region free Player. Preorder in.

Don't get too excited . Nothing much military based in the first two episodes other than Bismarck playing with his toy soldiers on the parlour floor . Its more of a love story than a war story ...... also bizarrely Danish with some bestiality ( man and cow ) and some other strange scenes that have no relevance to any story line . Will watch eps 3 and 4 next week to see if it gets any better .

There is a pretty good couple of scenes later on during the Danish retreat.

Having just finished watching the DVD set of "1864" I would like to add my two-pennuth:

I found it a very intelligent, moving (to the point of tears in quite a few places) and harrowing portrayal of a War (Denmark against the German Federation) and it's effects on the peoples involved.

Yes, it is a very slow burner and much more effective for that. I didn't find the sub-titles a problem - in fact I found it fascinating hearing the characters
speaking in their own language. It is a love story - nothing wrong with that surely - but also a history lesson of a War of which I knew absolutely nothing -
how it came about, was fought and how it ended.

The Battle scenes stand along side any other films you may care to mention - exceeding many in my opinion.

It flits between the present and the past and all comes together in the final episode. Excellent acting, fine music score -

I recommend it to anyone with a heart and a soul.
