The Brothers Karamazov
Three brothers, one spiritual and living at a monastery, the other - a gambler, and the third - an intellectual, work out their problems in 19th century Russia
Directed by Kirill Lavrov, Ivan Pyryev, Mikhail Ulyanov
Produced by Mosfilm
A profound, melancholic exploration of faith, morality, and family bonds set against the spiritual and intellectual ferment of 19th-century Russia.
The tragic story of the Karamazov family takes place in a Russian province in the late 19th century. The relations of their father and three brothers are very complicated and contradictory. One of the brothers is accused of killing his father, whom he did not commit. The brothers are unable to help him, and only a loving girl follows him to hard labour.
