The D’Innocenzo brothers just hit the first take of Dostoevskytheir first TV series, so tell them, with the unique style of their words and through the very first images released today:
Dostoevsky is the story of a man, a policeman, a ghost, a winter, a daughter, a friend, the end of a friend, a river, a murderer, a shiny fish, a broken hand, an abandoned daughter, a colonoscopy, a charger, a better colleague, an orphan, an orphanage, a pregnancy, a lost daughter, a younger colleague, a washed eye in a sink, from an illness. Dostoevsky is the decisive battle between all these elements of the world.
The series, in six episodes of which the Fratelli D’Innocenzo are also screenwriters, is an in-house production by Sky Studios, produced with Paco Cinematografica. As previously announced, Dostoevskij will star Filippo Timi (Vincere, I delitti del BarLume, Favola, The Eight Mountains) in the role of Enzo Vitello, a brilliant detective with a painful past. The rest of the cast will be announced today: Gabriel Montesi (Favolacce, Siccità, Romulus, Christian), Carlotta Gamba (Latin America, Dante), Federico Vanni (Chiara Lubich – Love conquers all, I am the abyss).
Revealing talents of Italian cinema in recent years thanks to the fulminating debut with La terra dell’abbinquente and the success of their subsequent projects – Favolacce, Silver Bear for Screenplay at the Berlinale, and Latin America – the brothers D’Innocenzo Dostoevskij will record in Rome and the surrounding area until the end of winter.

Dostoevsky follows the investigation of a police officer with a broken past and an inevitable future, Enzo Vitello, who investigates the blood trail of a ruthless serial killer, nicknamed Dostoevsky for the letters full of macabre details he leaves behind at the crime scene. Obsessed with the killer’s words, the cop goes so far as to embark on a dangerous solo investigation and get closer and closer to the disturbing truth. A policeman and a murderer, both elusive, elusive, both ghosts, who walk in the dark in the darkness of conscience, who chase each other but also a caress, together dissecting a loneliness that absorbs and encompasses everything. Dostoevsky follows the most complex investigation of all: is the real crime to be alive?
