This adaptation of The Cherry Orchard is too tedious to hold interest.

Ms. Rampling, still beautiful well into her 50s, has an earth-bound weariness and lively spirit that convey a life fully and tragically lived. Jun 20, 2002 | Rating: B | Full Review…

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. May 9, 2002 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Charlotte Rampling is a wonderful actress and Alan Bates was a great actor but this adaptation of Chekhov moves at a crawl and just isn't compelling.
