Dostoevskiy (2011)

 English title: Dostoevsky

Biographical mini-series about the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881). We get to witness his prison years, his conservative views, his several women, his gambling addiction, his health problems, his financial problems, his writing, etc.

Exceedingly well-done biopic. I usually don't enjoy this genre very much, and I frankly don't know how accurate this mini-series was, but overall I found it quite watchable and also lovely to look at on account of the many natural and urban views on display throughout the narrative. The acting was splendid too. I feel like I know more about Dostoevsky now than before I watched it.
