Loosely based on Dostoevsky’s novel of the same title, the film puts a big part of the book aside and only keeps the presence of the misanthrope who hates the whole world from his basement, behind a small window. In between silences and songs, ghostly figures appear to echo his bitter loneliness: “I am a sick man… I am a nasty man. A repelling man. That’s what I am.” (V.P.)
