Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member prekrasny filmik s Liskom on je taky super!!! vsetci su paradni:) tesim sa ze cesi produkuju take prijemne filmy :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Esta es sin duda la mas personal de mis peliculas, la numero 5 entre mis favoritas, y es que si bien la pelicula merece una buena calificacion objetivamente hablando, el momento en que la vi fue determinante y unico. Memorable adaptacion a los tiempos actuales de la novela de Dostoieski, aqui el idiota se distingue por otras conductas, las que no obvias siempre dejan una estela de cuestionamiento sobre lo inteligente de nuestro comportamiento habitual. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish this film was being distributed more readily. I saw it at the St. Petersburg Czech Film Festival in 2000 in a nearly incomprehensible simultaneous interpretation into Russian. Still, It stands in my memory as a valuable reading of Dostoevsky's novel and a haunting meditation on post-Communist space. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Completely memorable. Poignant. Haunting musical motif. Been looking for this since I saw it years ago on SBS. My rating is from what I remember. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
