Fuck that. Damn I would have watched that. Was it based on Dostoevsky or something else entirely? Imagine a master putting that much effort into a work of art, and then have it cut and chipped away at until there's nothing left...

    Based on Dostoyevsky's novel, yes, and apparently the film was close to it. I've watched the existing version — it's tolerable, although the physical quality of the film makes it a somewhat challenging experience. The gist of the story is pretty clear. To my shame, I haven't read the novel, so idk what is lost compared to it.
