The D’Innocenzo Brothers, who are also published poets, have described “Dostoevskij” as: “The story of a man, a police officer, a ghost, a winter, a daughter, a friend, the end of a friend, a river, an assassin, a glistening fish, a broken hand, an abandoned daughter, a colonoscopy, a battery charger, a more esteemed colleague, an orphan, an orphanage, a pregnancy, a lost daughter, a younger colleague, an eye washed in a sink, an illness ... the decisive battle among all of these elements in the world.”
After launching from Berlin, the series will release in Italian movie theaters in two separate parts via distributor Vision Distribution prior to playing on Sky.
The Sky Original series conceived, written and directed by the D’Innocenzo Brothers is produced by the Comcast-owned pay-TV player’s Sky Studios with Rome’s Paco Cinematografica.
“Dostoevskij” will air on Sky and stream on its NOW service in all Sky markets, including the U.K., Ireland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
NBCUniversal Global Distribution will be handling international sales on behalf of Sky Studios.
