The Last Station

Beautifully filmed era film that should have been nominated for best picture and best actor and actress. Christoffer Plummer and Helen Mirren give Academy award performances in this early 1900s film depicting Leo Tolstoys years after he published War and Peace and the people he surrounded himself and how they tried to influence how he should leave his estate upon his death. Helen Mirren is drop dead GREAT. This factual movie is set on Tolstoys commune outside of Moscow and has some very funny scenes mixed with a couple love stories. Definitely see it before it disappears from the theaters. 4 bananas
