Idiot (1958)
The recognition of this performance wasn’t easy and its success wasn’t quick. It was unexpectedly conventional, uncommon. It spoke about the complicated things that require hard psychical care and understanding. This was a serious, non-superficial interpretation of the novel by Dostoevsky – a dark and hard story.
