Editorial Reviews

Based on the classic novel by Leo Tolstoy, this "compellingly beautiful" (The Hollywood Reporter) love story stars Anna Sten in "an outstanding performance" (The Film Daily) and two-time OscarÂ(r) winner* Fredric March. Filled with tenderness, deep pathos and tragedy, We Live Again is a "visually and dramatically stirring" (The New York Times) film. When Dmitri (March) returns from military service, he finds his childhood sweetheart Katusha (Sten) has grown into a beautiful and desirable woman. But he's a royal prince and she's a lowly peasant. Andin Czarist Russia, such a romance is not just condemned it is strictly forbidden! *1946: Actor, The Best Years of Our Lives; 1931: Actor, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

5.0 out of 5 stars Tolstoy's "Resurrection" brought to film, November 14, 2008

This review is from: We Live Again (DVD)

This remarkable film directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring the vastly underrated Anna Sten and the stellar Frederick March, is based upon Leo Tolstoy's unforgettable novel, Resurrection. The themes in this story revolve around the struggles that have plagued but ultimately elevated humanity since the beginning of time: how we may self-justify our own errors, blind spots and prejudices; the ability to self-reflect, modify our behavior, and hold ourselves accountable for our actions; to experience the transformative effects of remorse, apology and redemption; and the conditions under which we forgive. Of special note are the scenes illustrating the Russian Orthodox Easter liturgy, which are aesthetically, culturally, and spritually transporting. To begin to understand this film, see the Amazon page for Tolstoy's novel here: [...]

Beautiful film made by Samuel Goldwyn, the second in his attempts to make Anna Sten into a major star. She is breathtakingly beautiful. Fredric March as Prince Dmitiri is perfectly paired with her to make their chemistry undeniable.

Aside from the propaganda aspects which have already been mentioned, take this film for what it is: a tale of forbidden love exacted by professionals from an era long past. Much Recommended.

Excellent Film about the "Resurrection" of The Prince that renunciation of material goods and an amoral society life and comfortable to recover a lost love and ruined by himself. Some people can not believe in changing life of the protagonist thinking it wouldn't happen in real life but this only ever happen when the life of someone who had done what he did REALLY try to repair the damage done. People do not believe because society teaches us to be selfish and inhumane and that to succeed you have to be dishonest, cruel, indifferent, free and irresponsible in sex and have money at the expense of others for happines. The doctrine of Christ is that which never fails and the prince ask for help REALLY in his change of life. Once again, great direction and great Rouben Mamoulian and stars Fredric March and Anna Sten play their parts as true that I was moved to tears. Beautiful and refined at the same time hard and strong film. For me, a must!.
