Description:
Experience the gripping tale of pride, remorse, and redemption set among the 19th-century Russian working class in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. Two-time Academy Award®-nominee John Hurt stars in this moving BBC dramatization that brings to life the classic story of an antihero doomed by his misguided sense of intellectual moral authority. A former student with fierce and rational intellect, Raskolnikov feels that he is above the law and even capable of shedding blood without penalty. When he commits a murderous act, he is forced to confront his inner demons as well as a clever adversary determined to bring a killer to justice. But Raskolnikov slowly realizes that he will never find peace until he admits his guilt to himself…

He is poor, a former student living in St. Petersburg, who, in search for a change of luck, develops a plan to kill a usurous pawnbroker who is hated by the whole town.
He expects to change his ... Read More

Crime and P. is perhaps our earliest and most elaborate interior novel, equal to James Joyce's Ulysses in this way, and written under equally incredibly severe conditions. Through it we enter the mind, heart and soul of a very complex and idealistic and intelligent and sensitive individual and share his every thought and understand his every desire and impulse.
Thus, all is wrong in this BBC production. Physically Hurt looks far too old to play an idealistic and inexperienced university student, ... Read More

The acting is awful, the scenery offers nothing and it drags and drags so that I wound up just shutting it down and preparing it for an EBay sale. Save your money on this one.

Dr. Phil: My first guest tonight is a man who has some impulse-control problems.
Raskolnikov: What do you want? When will you leave off tormenting me?
Dr. Phil: Hold it right there. Seems to me you need an attitude adjustment.
(Raskolnikov turns abruptly and stares at the wall.)
Dr. Phil: Says here you murdered an old lady for her money. You murdered her, and then you murdered her sister. What were you thinking?
Raskolnikov: (Making a violent effort ... Read More
