I am big fan of Tolstoy, I love his persona, I am aware of his family life, of Chertkov and all the people that surround him. The journalist and all those people around are well portrayed in this picture, they were so annoying, but the main characters are... poor. Where is the writer? where is the preacher? where is the Zeus kind of man? I know that the movie tend to show the last days of Tolstoy, the stupidity of Chertkov, but where is Tolstoy?, yes, he is relegated in some way, this movies shares Chertkov's fault, it show us only the Icon with some features that are aiming to move the audience, but they fail absolutely. Tolstoy was a thinker, a great writer, a storyteller, a explosion of life, where is that? This was pure gossip, the gossip of all this journalist, of the doctor, of the musician, of all the people that wrote memories about the last moments of the great writer... But the writer has left us a huge amount of arguments, stories, autobiography, where was that?
