Acclaimed as rising stars of Italian cinema, the D’Innocenzo Brothers made a stunning debut with La terra dell’abbastanza in 2018, followed by their award-winning Favolacce, which earned the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay in 2020. With Dostoevskij, they bring their cinematic flair to television, crafting a tale that is as thought-provoking as it is visually compelling.
Leading the cast is Filippo Timi (Vincere, The Crimes of BarLume, The Eight Mountains), portraying a brilliant yet haunted detective grappling with his painful past. Alongside Timi are Gabriel Montesi (Christian, Favolacce), Carlotta Gamba (America Latina, Dante), and Federico Vanni (Io sono l’abisso), who bring layered performances to this dark and intricate story.
Fans of the D’Innocenzo Brothers can deepen their understanding of Dostoevskij with Indizi, a companion book published by La Nave di Teseo. Available from November 22, the book includes the series’ screenplay and storyboards, offering a rare look into the creative dialogue between the brothers and their meticulous approach to world-building.
Dostoevskij isn’t just another crime thriller—it’s a haunting dive into the origins of violence, wrapped in the aesthetic beauty and narrative complexity that define the D’Innocenzo Brothers’ work. With a masterful cast and an immersive visual style, this series promises to be a milestone in Italian television.
