It’s being directed by the Oldboy director. I haven’t read the book but I have a feeling this series is going to be cringe
My dad usually watches TCM and they played the movie, on the anniversary of the First Russian Revolution no less, and yeah. It’s a clusterfuck. If anything it just leaves me with the impression that succdems/bourgeois ‘allies’ of socialist revolutions have a poor understanding of materialism and what needs to occur during a revolution.
