Director: Pawel Pawlikowski
Director: Pawel Pawlikowski
The multi-award winning Dostoevsky's Travels takes the form of a tragi-comic road movie with the only living descendant of the great Russian novelist - a St Petersburg tram driver Dmitri Dostoevsky. The film follows his travels around Western Europe, as he haunts high-minded humanists, aristocrats, monarchists and the Baden Baden casino, on his quest to raise money to buy a second hand Mercedes. The film is a picaresque journey as well as a meditiation on the cultural mismatch between East and West.
