Description
Bilingual edition of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin in both Russian and English languages. Meet Onegin, a dandy from Saint Petersburg, about 26. An arrogant, selfish and world-weary cynic. One day he inherits a landed estate from his uncle where he strikes up a friendship with his neighbour, a starry-eyed young poet named Vladimir Lensky. One day, Lensky takes Onegin to dine with the family of his fiancee, the sociable but rather thoughtless Olga Larina. At this meeting he also catches a glimpse of show more Olga's sister Tatyana. A quiet, precocious romantic and the exact opposite of Olga, Tatyana becomes intensely drawn to Onegin. Soon after, she bares her soul to Onegin in a letter professing her love. show lessTags

Quite a good version of this melancholy tale of a man who lets life happen to him rather than the other way round, until it is too late to get what he really needs. Despite the claims on the box, this is not an epic but a miniature. Ralph Fiennes is perfectly cast by his sister, who directed; Liv Tyler is reserved and beautiful rather than passionate.
