In Reply to: has anyone seen Kurosawa's The Idiot? if so what did you think? posted by PhilJ on September 6, 2011 at 08:56:14:
I've read the book, as well as the other Dostoyevsky novels, and the film (as other films based on Dostoyevsky) should be a great tool to gain some understanding of the book. Yes, the book is long, convoluted, and has many characters. The film should be much simpler and more clear, but I can't say for sure since I haven't seen it. Would like to though.
Please do post back after seeing it!
