Film of Russian novelist, Leo Tolstoy ( Lyev Nikolayevich Tolstoy)

I read Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, War and Peace when I was a seven grader (trnslated versions). I aprticularly liked his war and peace at my young age out of curious with other cultures. At that time, I did not pay too much attention to the life of the author; but the stories of the books. Recently I came across a fim called The last Station which is a historical drama which iillustrates Tolstoy’s struggles between his fame and ideology at his final year of life in 1910. This film successfully illustrates the scope, breadth and vivid depiction of 19th-century Russian life and attitudes. But it provides a look inside the world of Leo Tolstoy which I did not know.
