***FULLY TESTED AND REWOUND***
The story of the holy fool Prince Myshkin was Dostoevski's favorite of his own novels; Akira Kurosawa
(RAN, DREAMS) has often stated that Dostoevski is his favorite author. The confrontation of these two dynamic artistic spirits in Kurosawa's stupendous version of THE IDIOT represents an ideal cross-fertilization of two centuries, two cultures and two media.
Transposing Dostoevski's tale of madness and jealousy to post-war Japan, and setting it among raging blizzards and claustrophobic, madly lit interiors, Kurosawa fashions an expressionistic vision of passior. - and, by the end, a heartbreaking plea for simplicity and goodness.
