Crime And Punishment DVD

This Acclaimed BBC Adaptation Remains Faithful To Fyodor Dostoevsky's Classic Novel. Set In St Petersburg
In The Second Half Of The 19th Century, The Psychological Thriller Tells Of A Desperate Young Murderer
Caught In A Web Of His Own Guilt.

Rodya Raskolnikov Is A Poverty-Stricken Student Living Among The Fetid Alleyways And Crumbling Tenements Of
St Petersburg, Intense And Highly Intelligent, Raskolnikov Believes He Is Among A Class Of Men Destined For
Greatness And As Such Is Permitted To Breach 'Normal' Moral Values. He Decides To Test His Courage And
Integrity By Killing A Pawnbroker, A Mean Old Woman Whom He Is Sure Nobody Will Miss.

The Murder, However, Only Serves To Draw Raskolnikov Into A Nightmare World In Which He Is Dogged By Guilt,
Paranoia And Alienation. Faced With The Wily Investigator Porfiry, Who Sets Up A Complex Series Of Traps,
Encounters And Conversations, Can Raskolnikov Escape His Own Conscience Or The Seemingly
Inevitable Punishment?
