The new film of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard puts the 'ick' in 'classic.'
07/11/02
A sometimes tedious film.
05/24/02
Drags along in a dazed and enervated, drenched-in-the- past numbness.
04/26/02
Top CriticNo review available.
06/29/05
Any Chekhov is better than no Chekhov, but it would be a shame if this was your introduction to one of the greatest plays of the last 100 years.
04/04/02
Top CriticCherry Orchard is badly edited, often awkwardly directed and suffers from the addition of a wholly unnecessary pre-credit sequence designed to give some of the characters a 'back story.'
02/22/02
Top CriticCacoyannis is perhaps too effective in creating an atmosphere of dust-caked stagnation and labored gentility.
05/31/02
... a confusing drudgery.
02/25/02
The irony is that this film's cast is uniformly superb; their performances could have -- should have -- been allowed to stand on their own.
02/22/02
Allegiance to Chekhov, which director Michael Cacoyannis displays with somber earnestness in the new adaptation of The Cherry Orchard, is a particularly vexing handicap.
02/19/02
Top CriticCacoyannis' vision is far less mature, interpreting the play as a call for pity and sympathy for anachronistic phantasms haunting the imagined glory of their own pasts.
05/09/02
Ms. Rampling, still beautiful well into her 50s, has an earth-bound weariness and lively spirit that convey a life fully and tragically lived.
06/20/02
Top CriticOne of the film's most effective aspects is its Tchaikovsky soundtrack of neurasthenic regret.
12/03/02
This story tutors us in the practices of kindness and compassion for those caught up in the trauma of change and loss.
02/24/02
Chekhov has never looked or sounded better.
