Khotinenko's classic film based on the unconventional life of the mysterious and tragic Russian writer Dostoevsky is a study in contrast. Well recognized in literary circles, Dostoevsky was also financially strapped. Disdained by authorities, he had the grace of a sovereign. Both loving and jealous, rejoicing and suffering, Dostoevsky the man was a living, breathing paradox. (official distributor synopsis)
