Eugene Onegin

Set in the early 19th century, this Russian drama is an adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse. It tells the story of the jaded, dissolute nobleman Eugene Onegin, who travels to the countryside and becomes involved in a tragic love triangle with the young, idealistic Tatyana Larina and her admirer, Lensky.

Gleb Panfilov's 'Eugene Onegin' received mixed to positive reviews, with many critics praising its visual style and performances, particularly Renata Litvinova's portrayal. However, some found the adaptation to be overly long and perhaps too reverential to Pushkin's original work, leading to a somewhat static narrative for modern audiences.

• Visually striking and artistically ambitious adaptation of a literary classic.

• Renata Litvinova's central performance is a significant draw.

• Some viewers found the pacing slow and the narrative less engaging than expected.
