Преступление и наказание (Crime and Punishment) (1970)
Georgy Taratorkin and Aleksandr Pavlov as Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov and Dmitry Prokofyich Razumikhin
i think the only issues i have with the 2007 c&p adaptation is (1) the blonde hair (although i can overlook this one because vladimir koshevoy is an adonis) and (2) the cuts where rodya is supposed to faint bc i don't remember seeing vovochka actually falling to the ground yknow
compared to the 1969 movie adaptation, when georgy taratorkin has to faint, he FAINTS faints like bro was really committed to the role that it's as comedic as it was in the book
Note: This review was written for a class I took in the fall of 2011. I have edited it to remove references to images included in the essay and some of the copious citations.

Girls when they learn Georgy Taratorkin was casted as Raskolnikov because Lev Kulidzhanov’s (the director) assistant met him during 1968, while he was hospitalised because of a very serious illness, and thought he looked great with that tired, exhausted look that we know is just natural for Raskolnikov:
Like, watch my man go from being the perfect little guy to the pathetic little murderer twink fainting at the police station 😩♥️
