The idiot dostojevski5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The DVD I am watching, from the Russian company CP Digital, has reasonably good-quality images, but terrible subtitles. Eye contact, pauses, changes-or lack thereof-in tone of voice, all make such a big difference. Perhaps the translation I read was not too great, but I think the biggest difference is the wonderful acting and directing in this mini-series. I've read the book (in English) a couple of times, but this movie brings the characters to life for me in a way the book never did. The acting is incredible, the cinematography imaginative, the pacing very good, and the dialog, since it is pure Dostoyevsky, is, of course, stellar. ![]() Well, I've seen the first three episodes and can't wait to watch the rest. I had heard it was well done, so I thought I ought to force myself to watch at least some of it. ![]()
