Like Wuthering Heights, the geometry in Crime and Punishment is staggering. The complex relations, the intellectual concepts, the descent of a superman into the abyss of self-discovery. How painful it must have been for Raskolnikov to come to grips with his own ordinary place in the great scheme of things. He is not a Napoleon, he is an average man, weak, pathetic. He crossed the line and killed not only an old woman, but an innocent girl and her unborn baby. In the end, he killed himself.

This version is simply the best of all this book's adaptations. And for me that's matter of nature - the book is Russian, written in Russian, the protagonists are Russians, so the adaptation should be made by Russian in Russian language.

This is exactly how I pictured Raskolnikov, but not Porfiry.

@LiteraryWriter He did not kill himself. He was sentenced for 8 years in Siberia prison. He found his motivation to live in the end, when he realizes he look forward to life with Sonia -who moved to Siberia with him and without fail visited him regularly in the prison.

@eXTreemator He says it himself in the novel, that he did not kill the old woman, but himself. He killed the man as a moral being. As Dostoevsky believed, if there is no God, there is no man.

Hey, read this novel only in Russian. In English it loses its peculiar charm.
what are you talking about. He didn't kill himself.

The best Raskolnikov i´ve ever seen. He is handsome , by the way...( i´m not gay, just saying xD)
-
thats pretty much how i pictured raskolnikov (maybe a little younger) and razumihin. but porfiry is way of from what i imagined.

Best adaptation so far.

My thoughts exactly. I bought a Crime and Punishment comic book about 5 years ago and Rask looked like a lecherous and unkempt pedophile. He is clearly described as a strikingly handsome young man.
Anyone knows where can I find this film? preferably with English subtitle? Thank you
