Sir Charles Baskerville's sudden passing leaves the estate in the care of his nephew Sir Henry (Nikita Mihalkov). In light of suspicious circumstances surrounding his uncle's death, detectives Sherlock Holmes (Vasily Livonov) and Dr. Watson (Vitaly Solomin) are appointed to safeguard him.

Holmes is exhorted by threatening letters to keep away, diverting the legendary detective. He follows leads in London while Watson accompanies Sir Henry to the Baskerville estate in Devonshire. Although tranquil in daytime, the countryside proves highly treacherous at night when the wind is drowned by the howling of an unseen beast. For both scholars and fans, the definitive Holmes is Vasily Livonov, who received an OBE for his portrayal of the Victorian sleuth in the much loved Russian TV-series that has remained a perennial cult favorite for its wit, style and period detail. Part of that same series, 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' is a faithful feature length adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan's Doyle's novel. In other words, it's grandly entertaining.

Widely misunderstood and shamefully denigrated at the time of its original release, but now recognised as not simply one of Rossellini's greatest films but as one of the key works of modern cinema, 'Journey to Italy' is a deceptively simple piece.

There is little plot to speak of: a marriage is breaking up under the strains of a trip to Italy, and we watch. But in its deliberate rejection of many aspects of 'classic' Hollywood narrative and its stubborn pursuit of a quite different aesthetic, its meandering story line creates space for ideas and time for reflection.
