The Brothers Karamazov is a beautiful film with a solid script taking the most important parts of Dostoevsky's novel from the page to the screen.
Gorgeous cinematography with many scenes photograhed like paintings - the use of lighting is absolutely genius.
There's brilliant acting all-around from well-known actors to the unknown (the actor playing the dying little boy was perfect casting).
Realistic set designs from lush wealthy to charming middle-class to impoverished interiors - each setting evocative. Beautiful costumes (especially Claire Bloom's gowns) & wonderful gypsy music.
It's incredible to me that this fantastic film does not have a higher IMDB rating.
