This is the definitive four-hour version of Abel Gance's monumental silent epic presented in this restored version that played to sold-out theaters in 1981. Once considered one of the great lost masterworks of film history, painstakingly reconstructed by historian Kevin Brownlow and presented theatrically by Francis Ford Coppola. Features Carmine Coppola's stirring orchestral score. Letterboxing preserves the film's trumpeted triptych (a foreruner of the widescreen Cinemascope) climax.
