faithful to the novel

While some of the acting from secondary characters is outstanding, casting for the major characters--the prince and nastasya filippovna--is so wrong it becomes distracting. The gestural affectations of a 1959 production could be forgiven, but giorgio albertazzi as the prince is impossible to digest.
