Robert WieneCast
Gregori Chmara Maria Germanova
Plot
An adaptation of the Dostoevsky novel Crime and Punishment, about a student who commits a murder and is tormented by guilt.
Sinekatalog’s take
Robert Wiene's version of Crime and Punishment is shot in an Expressionist style, with Gregori Chmara and the Moscow Art Theatre players tormented by guilt. It is theatrical and feverish, and a striking cousin of Caligari.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
