When Madness Meets Method: The Unhinged World of "The Idiots" In the hallowed halls of Telluride, a film premiered this past Friday that defied convention with its sheer audacity.
Małgorzata Szumowska and Michał Englert's "The Idiot(s)" is a cinematic experience unlike any other, a literary biopic that careens wildly off the beaten path in pursuit of artistic truth.
Johnny Flynn and Aimee Lou Wood star as Fyodor Dostoevsky and his great love Anna. The film reimagines these characters as chaotic forces of nature, unmoored from fact or reason.
