The Last Station

By admin On March 1st, 2010 in Bill's Review /

Leo Tolstoy in his old age wrestles with the conflicting demands of his wife, with whom he has shared a full life of worldly pleasures, and the Tolstoyans all around him, who strive to live out the utopian ideals of his later years. The story is warm, sad, human – appropriate to Tolstoy, in other words – and filmed in beautiful country settings, with fine performances by Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren.
