Sony Pictures Classics has finally released a trailer for Michael Hoffman’s The Last Station, a biopic about Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Described in the promotional material as being a “complex, funny, rich, emotional, and true story about the difficulty of living with love and the impossibility of living without it”, the movie stars Christopher Plummer as Tolstoy and is joined by an all-star cast including James McAvoy as Valentin Bulgakov, Paul Giamatti as Vladimir Chertkov, and Helen Mirren as Sofya Tolstoy. I’m not a big fan of most dramatic period pieces, so I’ll leave the commentary to you (although, it would hard to go wrong with a cast that strong). Watch the trailer after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments below.
