Saw this movie at Camelview with PJ and Liz (during her AZ visit).Liked it a lot.
The story focused on Tolstoy's end-of-life. As discussed here: the wife he loved and couldn't live with, or without. Tolstoyans - followed Tolstoy's later blandishments far more than he did. Chertkov's efforts to take control of copyrights.
Much of the story was told from the viewpoint of a Tolstoy acolyte who showed quite a bit of independence, found a love affair of his own, etc.
Hadn't realized that the book on which the movie was based was written by the same guy that did the Frost bio PJ and I enjoyed.
