Long.
A two-disc dvd set.
Raskolnikov's friend, mother, sister, her two courters, and the inspector: all superb.
Sofia, the street prostitute, however, was over the top in just about every scene: it's a wonder her face didn't have creases in it from all the bending, squashing, and pushing it underwent.
Ultimately, the film fails because the direction is so bland as to remind one of a tv version (perhaps it was?).
I was reminded more than once of Bresson's masterpiece, "Pickpocket," about another alienated young man who justifies criminality for the same reason: it's a superior film.
Out of five-stars, ***.
