#THE DOUBLE PDF DOSTOIEVSKI PATCH#
Shall we begin?Īfter a 10 year exile in Siberia with their hands and feet shackled, most people would try to patch together the fragments of life they have left, after all the hard labor and difficulties in surviving. Should you find any missing information or additional adaptations, please let us know! We don’t claim this to be the definitive list of all things Dostoyevsky remakes, but we think we got pretty close. Wherever possible, we added a link to IMDB reviews of the film, and any DVD release we could find. This list features renowned auteurs like Bresson, Wajda and Visconti alongside lesser known but talented and creative international names like Lav Diaz and our own Vitaly Sumin. And what’s really exciting about it - even if obvious, when you think of the magnitude of the author - is that aside from his native Russia and other major film industries like France, India and the US, classics by the Russian master have been adapted in countries that don’t have so rich a cinema history. We’ll admit it right off the bat: when we started collecting data for this humongous list of films adapted from Dostoyevsky novels, we never expected it to reach these numbers: we have found a whopping 124 films that were at least loosely based upon novels, novellas and short stories by the Russian master.
