His life was intriguing as well as his death (a subject for conspiratory). Movies about him has been made. Prokofiev is close... I think his music is the most Russian of all, just listen to the national anthem, yes he is the one behind it. His first symphony is in my opinion the best classical work ever composed, so full of joy, definitely a work of a young musical genius.
