Der Idiot

2006 · 278 min

A long, theatrical plunge into feverish performance, mixing grotesque comedy with dreamlike stillness and a detective's pull.

Overview: Unites grotesque elements, tempo, quiet dream sequences, the thrill of a detective story, but above all, he manages to capture the temperature of an actor ensemble that throws itself into the world of Dostoyevsky with immense pleasure and passion.
How it feels: Dark, absurd, melancholic and tense. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Identity, obsession, love, madness
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
