LJ Idol Presents:

Morfiy. Oh my god Polyakov is hot. (I mean, there's also the rest of the movie, but...he's so hot.)

The film Morfiy was adapted from the short story collection Zapiski yunogo vracha by Mikhail Bulgakov, same as the BBC series A Young Doctor's Notebook with Daniel Radcliffe. Though the TV series is ... very different. Also sort of unnerving for me because everything looks like Russia, everybody has Russian names, but all the characters act extremely British. I don't dislike what I've seen of the series, exactly - it's got its own charm - but it has no subtlty whatsoever and the protagonist is an ineffectual buffoon in the style of every other British protagonist ever.
