Brothers Karamazov - Ivan Confronts His Devil

This clip, from a 1968 Soviet-era adaptation of Brothers Karamazov (by Fydor Dostoevsky), depicts the scene (from the novel) in which Ivan Karamazov (who disputes the existence of God) confronts his devil.

Absent from the 1958 American-film version, this scene helps to explain Ivan's later change of mind.

Kirill Lavrov plays the role of both Ivan and his devil.
