Chayka

It is easy, fair to, to consider it the best version of Chayka. For something who can be reduced, at the first sight, at impecable performances.

But the real virtue is the gentle game of nuances, reflecting the Chekhov universe defining this so fragil world.

I saw few ocassions this beautiful, in profound sense, adaptation, admiring, first, the great portrait of konstantin, proposed by Vladimir Chetverikov, the honest Trigorin, inspired explored by Iuri Iakovlev .

But the star of film remains , no doubts, Liudmila saveleva. For Nina monologue, off course. But , in same measure , for the dialogue with Trigorin , few close ups being just wonderful key to the essence of character and her evolution.

A masterpiece in very special terms.
