The sad end of life story of Leo Tolstoy. Hailed as the world's greatest writer he was revered and inspired a cult following whose machinations soiled his memory.
The film was a wonderful showcase for the huge talents of the leads...many great scenes gave each of them something to chew on. Unfortunately the screenplay hinged on a secondary character who was unnecessary to the story and acted(to me) as an irritant throughout.
Nice locations and mise-en-scene. Noble but flawed effort.
