A mysterious serial killer who kills with ferocity and leaves messages and reflections on life on the victims’ bodies and on one’s vision of the world; a policeman, Enzo Vitello, who hunts him together with his team, but who also has to deal with his own torment and feelings of guilt for having abandoned his daughter who is now experiencing the ordeal of drug addiction.
Dostoevsky, directed by the D’Innocenzo brothers, It’s a series that doesn’t have an easy impactwhich in terms of tone, settings and aesthetics can be repelling; overcome an initial discomfort, however, the story reveals a surprising capacity for introspection and knows how to delve into the depths of the protagonists.
In the TV series “Dostoevsky”, Filippo Timi plays the policeman Enzo Vitello (photo Greta De Lazzaris).
Having no other clues, Vitello (Filippo Timi) begins an epistolary relationship with the murdererin a game of revelations that mixes and questions the boundaries between good and evil.
Dostoevsky And an intimately cerebral, even excessively authorial seriesbut which emerges as a brilliant thriller; almost more of an extended cinematic contribution than a series with contemporary rhythms. The protagonist measures himself against the unacceptable and the imponderable, in a sequence of horrors and pains that offers no concessions to the spectator.
For those who love “intellectual” thrillers that tickle the comparison with the abyss.
