4.0 out of 5 stars A midwintersdawn fantasy, February 10, 2004

This review is from: Snow Maiden (DVD)

As a playwright Ostrovsky is the Russian Shakespeare. Here we have something akin to "A Midsummernight's Dream," only with superb Russian folk singing thrown into the mix. Yes, it all can seem very stilted to western audiences, but remember that this is pretty important theater being filmed. Wonderful atmospherics and direction reminiscent of Bergman and Pasolini make this a lot of fun. I just wish the soundtrack were available.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful and sad...and very Russian, January 14, 2005

This review is from: Snow Maiden (DVD)

Another gorgeous Russian film - full of beautiful folk music and a breathtaking village set. The story is so famous in Russia that both Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky set it to music. The poor Snow Maiden is a very tragic figure who willingly dies to feel the emotion of love but the coda is quite upbeat. Very Russian.
