A good adaptation of Dostoevsky's eponymous novel.
The Idiot (ИДІОТЪ) is a costume drama TV series produced by Telekanal "Rossiya" in 2003 based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel with the same title. The series was branded by the novel's original pre-1920's orthography title "идіотъ" (in all caps) instead of the current "идиот" as one will find it on the bookshelves in Russia (to promote the atmosphere of the tsarist time when the film's plot takes place). The series consists of 10 sequels each approximately 50 minutes. The series has a very good cast. Both, the actors suit the characters from the novel well by appearance, and, especially act with a grand finesse, bringing not only life, but more: credibility to the utterly complex characters of Dostoevsky's. © TV Channel "Russia", 2003.
