06/25/03
In capturing the understated comedic agony of an ever-ruminating, genteel yet decadent aristocracy that can no longer pay its bills, the film could just as well be addressing the turn of the 20th century into the 21st.
02/24/03
One of the film's most effective aspects is its Tchaikovsky soundtrack of neurasthenic regret.
12/03/02
Chekhov has never looked or sounded better.
10/21/02
While Cacoyannis' film may not be totally faithful to the master's pen, for literature students and theater lovers, this Cherry Orchard is a rare treat.
09/13/02
The new film of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard puts the 'ick' in 'classic.'
07/11/02
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 CriticCacoyannis is perhaps too effective in creating an atmosphere of dust-caked stagnation and labored gentility.
05/31/02
Top CriticA sometimes tedious film.
05/24/02
Cacoyannis' 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
Drags along in a dazed and enervated, drenched-in-the- past numbness.
04/26/02
Top CriticScrupulously acted (in English), visually perfected and skillfully complemented with Tchaikovsky piano music.
04/12/02
It's not a bit stagy, yet it manages to be dazzling theater.
04/11/02
Looking aristocratic, luminous yet careworn in Jane Hamilton's exemplary costumes, Rampling gives a performance that could not be improved upon.
04/04/02
Top CriticAny 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.
