Dostoevsky's Crime & Punishment (Film in English)

[Rachel S. Platonov]

Dear Sohail,

There's also a recent (2002?) adaptation of Crime and Punishment,  
directed by Menahem Golan (perhaps better known as the producer of  
films like 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'American Cyborg'...) and  
starring Crispin Glover as Raskolnikov, John Hurt and Vanessa  
Redgrave. It's a strange one--it's set in post-Soviet Moscow, if I  
remember correctly, and I'd be hard-pressed to praise the acting at  
all--but it has some interesting moments. Comparing it with some of  
the other English-language adaptations could be quite interesting.

Best wishes,
- Rachel Platonov
