    Chekhov. and little more
    A film who must see. for reasons more significant than any description. yes, an admirable Russian film. yes, one of the great adaptations of "Chayka". yes, an admirable example of high performances. and something who discover yourself in the nuances of a play defined by not exactly portrait of a family but about the essence of humankind. a film about truth. and appearences. and art. geography of a world. the world of the soul. for me, the work of Vladimir Chetverikov as Konstantin Treplev is one of the virtues of film. the second - Nina Zarechnaya by Lyudmila Saveleva. a perfect tool for understand the universe of Chekhov. in its nuances. in its rules.
