Crime and Punishment

Experience the gripping tale of pride, remorse, and redemption set among the 19th-century Russian working class in Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment. Two-time Academy Award®-nominee John Hurt stars in this moving BBC dramatization that brings to life the classic story of an antihero doomed by his misguided sense of intellectual moral authority. A former student with fierce and rational intellect, Raskolnikov feels that he is above the law and even capable of shedding blood without penalty. (amazon.com)
