It is just not fair to make films like that. The director discovered hidden visual dynamite in the bottomless text of the dark genius of Dostoevsky. The best actors of the world's oldest acting school perform like there is no tomorrow. Together, they crash on your senses with an impact of a natural disasters rather then a human-made entertainment.
Every episode goes at amazing pace, rich in events, and crafted brilliantly. It never fails to captivate. Every scene has action, intensity, emotion and impact. TV drama format suits it perfectly - viewers need these breaks.
Although the language is a problem for general English-speaking public, the film is strongly recommended to industry professionals and academics. It has material for 10 years of research and following.
P.S. I am not associated with anyone in that film in any way.
***********************************
A fantastic achievement! Brilliant acting, especially Mironov and Inna Churikov. Olga Budina (Aglaya), Vladimir Ilyin (Lebedev), Aleksei Petrenko (General Ivolgin), and Vladimir Mashkov (Rogozhin) also give very strong performances. The masterful treatment of even the most minor characters (e.g. Yepanchin's butler) provides an incredibly rich texture for this amazing story. The main difficulty for the non-Russian speaker is the incredibly uneven quality of the English subtitles. As others have stated, the subtitles go from very good to suddenly unintelligible. In parts they annoying lag behind the dialog. The music is weak also, much of it computer-synthesized, and very repetitive. But those quibbles aside, this is a real masterpiece.
***********************************
Vladimir Bortko's Idiot is a faithful translation of Dostoyevsky's novel. I had read the novel again just recently before watching this 10 part, nearly 10 hour miniseries and I don't think that any of the key characters or events are left out, which is quite a feat in itself. All the characters are true to the novel. I found that parts, especially in the second half, were slow, but I found the novel to be slow in those parts as well.
As an American with no knowledge of Russian, I had to rely on the translation, which varied from very good (at least grammatically correct) to nearly incomprehensible. It was as if the translator went occasionally crazy and then recovered. However, it was good enough in all parts to follow although I found myself hitting the pause button to read some of the longer captions. The DVD, as far as I know, is available in the US only at.
I found myself comparing this version to Kurosawa's. I think the two Russian male leads (Prince M. and Rogozhin) were as good as their Japanese counterparts, which is saying a lot, since Masayuki Mori and Toshiro Mifune were great in those parts. Mironov and Mashkov both capture the essence of their characters, the Prince's innocence and Rogozhin's violent love--hate relationship with Nastassya. I don't think the two female leads were as good as their Japanese counterparts, but it's difficult to beat the great Setsuko Hara. Kurosawa's film, cut down to 166 minutes, could only present a fraction of the novel's events and characters, but did a great job in choosing the ones to include. Only the character of Lebedev was really missed in the Japanese version. Lebedev, by the way, is terrific in this version. The Russian version really lets you get acquainted with the more minor characters like Hippolite and Keller.
Inna Churikova is a standout as Lizaveta Epanchina, a key character in both the films and novel.
Definitely recommended for fans of the novel and anyone who likes to settle into a good ten hour drama.
***********************************
Yes, I do consider this TV(mini series) be a masterpiece.
How does this adaptation of Dostoevsky's novel differ from any other? There are many reasons why this version is the best.
1. A truly amazing, superb cast (maybe with an exception of Nastasya Filipovna, but if you know something about Russia's movie industry you must know, that there are no decent actresses of an age needed for this role, so their choice was not that bad). Mironov became a really well-known and loved actor of my country after this film. Everyone in the movie is great, but whom I personally admired was A.Petrenko and his portrayal of General Ivolgin, just as in the novel!!!
2. This adaptation is the first full one of Fedor Michailovich's novel, it really has depth and that special feeling when you read his books was captured in this version and can be really sensed.
There are lots of, lots of reasons why this film is great, it is by far the best Russian (and I mean Russian, not USSR's) TV Series.
I hope that Bortko, who brought to life Sobachie Serdze and Idiot will make something really great from his upcoming project Master i Margarita.
Thank you, Mr.Bortko, you gave Dostoevsky's novel a new life, after the release of this movie Dostoevsky was again as popular as he deserves to be. I hope that more people will read his novels after watching this.
This is an adaptation of F.M.D's greatest novel we've been all waiting for!!! 10/10.
***********************************
Mironov is Myshkin - incredible acting, with or without words, you know exactly what he is thinking and feeling. Absolutely wonderful adaptation of one of my favourite books. Mashkov is also outstanding as Rogozhin, a very scary man indeed! Mashkov does have a very commanding screen presence in everything I've ever seen him in (try Vor), but this was just great. All the lead actresses were great in my view, especially Olga Budina as Aglaya Ivanovna. I do have to echo the comments about the subtitles though! I was really surprised to find them on my DVD (no idea about international availability, bought here), I didn't think that a Russian TV series would have them, but I supposed the International Television Festival attention - and award for Mironov made them necessary. Very sad that a better job wasn't made. I was very glad I didn't need them! Some bits are fine, and others have daft spelling mistakes, and elementary mistakes in grammar and translation. What was going on? It really distracted from the actors' work. The best films with subtitles are those where you forget that you are watching a subtitled film. This cannot happen with these.
***********************************
Dostoyevsky, the world master of classic literature, is a psychopathic psychologist. He is the disease and the cure. No one but him can deliver a true Russian character, full of life's passions: love and hatred. Dostoyevski's characters are simultaneously capable of cruelty and compassion. They are sinful and repentant - but never dull. Idiot gives one so much to ponder about the meaning of life. Film's psychedelic characters represent our innerly hidden demons, which can easily surface, when disturbed. The acting is great. I recommend this film to anyone who is a philosopher. It will stimulate your mental energy for a quite some time.
***********************************
I don't know if it is a good film. But, for certain ,it is a masterpiece.
For Dostoievsky's universe the words are unavailing. The comments are only games of vain ambition, trips in narcissistic nooks. The biography, the verdicts are slices of personal vision and not search of truth.
Dostoievsky is expression of his work. And his books are the territory of a well-organized world.
This film is the exceptions of my remarks. "Idiot" is a jeweler's achievement. Every nuance, every detail is careful polished. It is a example of to restore a masterpiece. A subtle acting, a gorgeous Lev Myshkin, a spectacular script. In fact, the result of a terrible fight between novel and film, between word and image, expression of Bortko's deep respect for a magnificent creation.
It is so remarkable for his art that the beginning of East European pride is made. But this film is not TV product. It is foretaste of a impressive spirituality, of a special refuge, about the price of illusion in Russian space, about the relation with a far Occident.
The first value of film is the language. Soft, worm, subtle, old, it is the atmosphere of a fascinating time and space, a literature and belief. Is it too little?

This comment may contain spoilers
For anybody with an interest in the craft of acting, this 10 part mini series could almost be used as a 'how-to' manual - or at least shame anybody who considers themselves an "actor" to go out and get some real training. Theatricality is not the point (although a lot of the main roles are taker by actors from the legendary Moscow Art Theatre of Chekhov, notably the above-superlative genius, Evgeny Mironov as the lion-mouse Prince Myshkin) you have to give credit to the TV based actors too, notably Lidiya Velezheva (who is unfairly and ignorantly trounced in most reviews I have read of this series)as a stunning Nastasia Phillipovna and Aleksanr Lazarev as a wonderful (and VERY original) Ganya. The series itself is compulsive viewing - the direction floats between functional, moody and surprising- the sound track, though repetitive and electronic, is so reminiscent of the last movement of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique and works so well as that... But, essentially, it is all about the acting. Vladimir Mashkov as Rogozhin is a force of nature and gets better each episode until his breakdown, which is itself surprisingly restrained and un-showy, very affecting and generous to his comrade: the perpetually astonishing Mironov - simply the greatest actor I have ever seen.
***********************************
The director's daring quest to film a script as close as possible to the book is also the movie's greatest weakness. The second half of the book, and hence of the movie, is emotionally much less active than the first half, so the contrast is naturally emphasized due the movie time format. The result is that the second half of the movie is plain boring.
Everything else is a success - photography, music, cast ( a brilliant cast, except an overly hysteric and non-charming Nastasya ), costumes, the very atmosphere of the dark and psychotic Petersburg of Dostoyevsky are meticulously combined into a theatrical, even intimate, show. The Prince's protagonist Parfion gives energetic, raw-power perfomance ( too bad he wears same black suit through the whole movie, a bit pathetic ). The Prince's best parts are his thralling monologues, when one can almost physically sense how the others' cynicism is extinguished by his naive sincerity.
The movie should appeal to the fans of 'psychological' genre, as special effects and action are obviously absent here. |
