Summary:
In honor of his newly created religion, Russian novelist Leo Tolstoy renounces his title, property, and family in favor of poverty and celibacy. For the Countess Sofya, his wife of nearly fifty years, this is the last straw! after she discovers his plans to leave the rights to his iconic novels to the Russian people rather than his own family, she decides to use every trick of seduction in her considerable arsenal to fight for what she believes is rightfully hers. Includes commentary, and more. "For those who enjoy actors who can play it up without ever overplaying their hands, The Last Station is the destination of choice."--Los Angeles Times. "The movie's a chocolate box of nougaty performances..."--Boston Globe. "Every second Helen Mirren is on-screen in The Last Station is a study in peerless talent."--USA Today. "Solid middlebrow biographical fare in which meaty roles are acted to the hilt by a cast more than ready for the feast."--Variety. "The entire film is a seduction..."--Wall Street Journal.
