Great cast, acting, and scenes
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2007
When I lived in Moscow, I was fortunate to see a revival of "Platonov," Chekhov's first play written at age 19. When it was rejected, he tore it up. But a copy was found in the 1920's and revived. Then on Moscow TV I watched Nikita Mikhalkov's great adaptation of it. It is so typical of Chekhov's images of the despondent and pointless life of Russian gentry in the late 19th century. It is full of contrasts at that time; fascinating, intellectual, and boring. The Russians in this pivotal time in Russian history seemed to find much in common and Chekhov is very much in style today. I have many favorite scenes.

I love Anton Chekhov's plays and I love Nikita Mikhalkov's films. The script has characters that could have been written by and a setting that could have been imagined by Chekhov. For me, it plays out to it's end in a most satisfying manner. With gentle humour and drama, the characters reveal the ordinariness of their lives, which we in the audience relate to wholeheartedly. Thank you Nikita and company.

A comedy in the broadest sense, looking squarely at human foibles. Most productions of Chekhov come off as tragedies rather than comedies. This production hits just the right balance, despite some obvious film-school touches. The only other example I know is Louis Malle's "Vanya on 42nd Street" (in English).

By far thee best Chekhov film put on camera to date. You want to learn how to bring Chekhov's words to life? You want to learn if anything "really happens" in a Chekhov play? You want to learn about subtext and awkward pauses? Buy this film.

A must for every Chekhov fan, this project captures the essential 'feel' of his characters and of the Russian upper middle class world he portrayed to us, without stealing, as far as I am aware, any of his dialogue or situation. A genuine, authentic masterpiece.

Seems to be definitive. If you like Chekhov's writing and want to see it rendered beautifully on film, I highly recommend this movie. No complaints.

Die Darsteller machen das "Stück" sehr glaubwürdig.
Begleitet wird dieses bildreiche Meisterwerk, mit wunderschöner Musik und immer aktuell bleibenden Themen.
Deutsche Untertitel sind vorhanden und passend eingesetzt.
