Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for anyone with a bit of wanderlust and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something. Shelve it next to True Grit.
The mood
Exciting.
The pace
Big, sprawling and full of spectacle, at 3 hr 16 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 3 hr 16 min.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1915: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Five-episode adaptation of the eponymous Russian novel, directed by Pyotr Chardynin et al.
