The Brothers Karamazov

[Machine Translation] The historical masterpiece by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, the world's greatest writer, has been fully adapted into a 4-hour long, 3-part feature film! The latest beautiful 4K restored version is now available on DVD! A greedy landowner, Karamazov, is murdered by someone. This nightmarish human drama filled with conflicts between a father and son and their siblings vying for flesh and bone is a masterpiece with careful direction and a speedy development. The dynamic cinematography, including the powerful performances of the cast, and the profound storyline make this a first-rate literary work filled with volume. The film is directed by Ivan Puliyev, who also directed the masterpiece "A Siberian Tale" ('47) and "White Devil" ('58), both based on Dostoevsky's novel. A deep knowledge of Dostoevsky led him to write the screenplay himself. However, when the film was just about to be completed, director Puliyev passed away suddenly, and Mikhail Ulyanov, who played the eldest son Dmitry, and Kirill Lavrov, who played the second son Ivan, took over the project as co-directors and managed to complete the film. The film was a hit as soon as it was released. In its home country, it won the Gold Prize at the 1969 Moscow International Film Festival, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film that year, and was ranked in the top 20 foreign films in the 1969 Kinema Junpo, winning high acclaim both domestically and internationally. --The three Karamazov brothers and their father live separately in a Russian province. The eldest, Dmitry, has a fiancee, but is infatuated with the bewitching Grushenka, and engages in an ugly feud with his father, Fyodor, who is also obsessed with Grushenka. Ivan, the second son, watches from the sidelines with a thought in his mind, while Alyosha, the third son, struggles to resolve the situation. Love and hatred intersect, and soon the wheels of fate begin to turn quietly... Commentary booklet enclosed.
