Negative Positive
Title: Splendid teleplay
Review: Read the book -- but this _is_ a superb miniseries. John Hurt is a little older than is ideal for the role of the student Raskolnikov, but otherwise is a fantastic choice for the part. The story is absorbing and thought-provoking, and, at least in the marvelous scene in which Raskolnikov taunts a police inspector --- funny!Crime and Punishment was preceded by an adaptation of Dostoevsky's The Possessed. I hope that will become available.
