The Last Station

Set in the last tumultuous years of famed Russian author Leo Tolstoy's life,(Christopher Plummer) this film centers on the battle for his soul waged by his wife Sofya Andreyevna (Helen Mirren) and his leading disciple Vladimir Cherkov (Paul Giamatti). Torn between his professed doctrine of poverty and chastity and the reality of his enormous wealth, his thirteen children and a life of hedonism, Tolstoy makes a dramatic flight from his home. Too ill to continue beyond the tiny rail station at Astapovo, he believes that he is dying alone, while over one hundred newspapermen camp outside awaiting hourly reports on his condition.  

Helen Mirren and Christopher Plummer have both received Oscar nominations for their performances.
