About The Departure of a Great Old Man
A group of peasants comes to see Leo Tolstoy and his wife, the Countess, to request some land. Tolstoy must explain to them that it is his wife who has authority over their land-holdings, and she will not help them. Stung by their negative reaction to him, Tolstoy becomes increasingly preoccupied with the problems of the poor. This leads to a number of conflicts with his wife, and then to a deep despondency, as the noted writer continues vainly to search for answers to the sufferings he sees around him.
Directed by Elizaveta Thiman, Yakov Protazanov, The Departure of a Great Old Man leans on a strong ensemble — Vladimir Shaternikov, Olga Petrova-Zvantseva, Mikhail Tamarov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1912.
