Uncle Vanya | CHEKHOV DRAMA | FULL MOVIE

Based on the play by Anton Chekhov. End of 19th century, Russian province. The film is set in a family manor house whose inhabitants are bored with their lives, which they view as pointlessly and needlessly wasted. For many years the country estate has been looked after by Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky.

Uncle Vanya, a Russian intellectual barely making ends meet in these backwoods, falls in love with a woman who happens to be on his estate ...
While making the film, the director set out to preserve the style and content of the original theatre piece as much as possible.

The film is recognised as one of the most successful adaptations of Chekhov's plays.

The Cannes Film Festival 2021 awarded a Japanese film, "Drive My Car" for the best screen writing. The film was based on the novel by Haruki Murakami. The film contains much reference to Uncle Vanya. That's why I wanted to watch it to comprehend the other film's plot. Thanks for the movie.

So deep, so true…great russian art. A masterpiece! Thank’s for sharing!

Sergei Bondarchuk, 'Fate of a man" and the epic masterpiece, 'War and Peace", is one of the greats in Russian film. Cheers

A great Russian gem, masterfully played in the Russian spirit - thanks Mosfilm for sharing!

It's a pure esthetic joy to watch this movie: many sets are like paintings, like works of art. Perhaps the set decorator intentionally wanted to achieve this effect and let me say he has succeeded! It's so accurate and so correctly depicts the stifling, sluggish atmosphere of dacha life, of small provincial southern towns. There are several foreign productions of Uncle Vanya, but as beautiful as one can find them, there is unfortunately nothing Russian in them - they failed at portraying the way Russians talk, gesticulate, react, eat and even dress...

Wow. I grew up with two elder brothers, mother and father. I get this film. Chekhov and the film people, simply brilliant.

Thanks so much for this extraordinary gem! This is the TRUE Chekhov I love!

[mariannapapoutsopoulou]

A masterpiece... all of it, all of them. Chekhov, Andrei Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky, Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Sergei Bondarchuk, Irina Kupchenko, Irina Miroshnichenko .... I am full of tears.

Wonderful to see Andrei Konchalovsky’s 1970 film. A genius of world cinema, this was magnificent, thank you so much for posting such a marvellous work. ❤ This is a treasure.

the movement of characters, throughout the film, is so poetic.

Another superb production from Mosfilm, excellent performances by all. The absence of background music is such a relief from the usual bombast, I enjoyed the slip from sepia to colour, they caught the atmosphere of the suffocating stillness of isolated rural Russia and the decaying manor. Uncle Vanya is a wonderful story, we all know someone like the professor. Marvellous! Thank you very much for posting, these Russian classics are a real joy to watch.

Chekhov has to be seen in Russian - it sounds completely different because the Russian culture is very different - unique in its own way..
I can speak a little Russian - but I understood most of this play. It is nicely depressive - like only Russians can understand and appreciate.
I saw the British production with Toby Jones and Richard Armitage - it seemed like a different play.
Thank you for posting this Russian movie - really enjoyable for its authenticity and beauty of language. Spasiba bolshoi!
