In Reply to: Did you enjoy the novel? I found it a bit... boring, at least posted by tinear on June 30, 2006 at 17:49:26:
mention what all critics have noted is a key problem with it: the omission of Raskalnikov's gulag redemption, laid off as capitulation to the Soviet censors.
I must admit, ignorant as I am of this version, that this failure is like cutting Christ's crucifixion words, "Lord, why has thou forsaken me."
I'll see it, anyhow, but that seems to be a very damning decision.
Follow Ups:
I suspect you are way ahead of me on this one. I saw the film when it came out in 1969, and I most likely was not aware of this element. My memory locked in many other things, most importantly the Smoktunovsky's performance (in my mind absolutely superb... and you have to absorb his voice and speech manner) and to a somewhat lesser extent Taratorkin's. Plus the whole atmosphere that was I thought presented extremely well, especially as it was filmed on the familiar locations.If you could point me in the direction of one such review I would be curious.
