MCT:August 20, 2008Oh, I really loved this movie, even with it's strange ending - I think that's what set it apart from the other movies I watch. Lets face it, in usual films, them man and woman would of found a way to be together, they would of loved eachother inspite of everything, but these parted ways at the end: she stayed true, and he, respectfully, left her.
A strange contrast to other films and I still try to find if it's really a tragity or maybe a greater love story then you would think. -
MCT:April 15, 2008Considering the acting talent, this movie was a flat-out dud. Not only slow, but dull. That's what you get when you let your wife direct you. Hear that Ralph Fiennes?
-
MCT:March 5, 2008Really great movie...also sad that it took him so long to realize he did indeed love her...too bad it was too late! Got to love Ralph Fiennes though!

MCT:February 2, 2008this story has been wrote as a play poem by a russian poet alxander pushkin in 1830.
sad, miserable eugen character represents the despired pushkin at that time while he was fored to be away by the goverment.
this had been taken from pushkin's emotional life..
pushkin , as a man, was the victum of love in his life..sometimes he get surprised that happiness could come to his miserrable life!
the tragedy of the story febricates when oegin forced to shut his dear friend.. and he kill him by false pointing of the pistole. eugen refuses tatyana's love as a believe from him that he didnt greate for love and marriage ,but when he realize that he's in love with her..it was too late! -

This was a GREAT film. Its just what a tragic love story should be. Definately worth a look and Liv Tyler was amazing as always.

On-yay-ghin. It's Russian and it's depressing.
Hmmm... maybe that's a tautology.
Anyhoo, this adaptation simply reeks of eternal Russian pessimism. The bright side of life is only there to remind you of how bad things are. Every character, no matter their station or situation is drowning in a mire made from their own life. Every step forward is a step away from what you already have. Every breath is but an extension of your suffering. It's no wonder they invented vodka.
Ralph Fiennes makes a great jaded socialite and a pretty damned good unrequited lover. He captures the hopelessness of his character's culture with ease. No matter how happy he gets he always knows that he's about to fall. Like the great sage said, "This, too, shall pass". Liv Tyler is more human than any other character she's ever portrayed: virginally naïve as a lovesick girl and terminally tragic as a married woman. She and Ralph advance and retreat like German soldiers on the Russian front.
Toby Stephens absolutely shines as Vladimir, the provincial poet. He is at once intense and unfocussed. Like a stick of dynamite all he needs is the right fuse. That fuse is Onegin. His course of effete destruction reaches out and grabs those around him, dragging them into his personal hell. They may not suffer fire and brimstone but it makes eternity seem a long time.
If you like a good arty flick with lots of rich people being incredibly stupid and condemning themselves to live no better than the only life of which they can conceive, Onegin is a damned good film for you. Heck, even if you only go to see the frocks, it's worth the price of admission. -

Pushkin was a genius when it came to poetry. This film tries to do it justice. In parts touching, desolate and haunting. How love is a gift yet can be lost without taking a single step. Bold.

I just love this movie. Can't put my finger on exactly why. Maybe that's part of the reason. Unrequited, unfulfilled love stories make my chest ache with emotion.

I love the ballroom shots in this flick. Fiennes is perfect in this role as a cold hearted man of taste. I liked the transformation of the Tyler character...and the portrayal of loves' pain is exquisite....bring kleenex.

It's one of those you'll like alot or not so much. Personally I think it's a fantastic adaptation of Pushkin's poem, to think I almost didnt watch it....doesnt bear thinking about.

It is perfect movie made out of the book. I mean I just cannot adore Ralph in this film, at the end the way he cries, OMG...

Natty version of Puskin's poem, this film is a sort of familial work (all the Fiennes brothers, except Joseph, took part in its production). Tender and sweet Liv Tyler (Tatijana), dark and catchy Ralph Fiennes (Eugenij).

Once again another tragic love story. But unofrtunately it was slightly unbelievable because Onegin was obviously a dead shit not to be with Tyler's character.
-
MCT:May 20, 2006
Another Fiennes classic. The pace is jumpy and the bridge between the second and third act is on the brink of collapse, but there are fantastic performances present by Fiennes (who is suitably restrained) and Tyler (who distances herself perhaps a little too much, but still pulls through) that lead to a breath-taking finale that seems to fade out at the end like a proper ghost should... and that's what Onegin becomes, a ghost in Tatyana's former life. Nonetheless, Pushkin's novella comes alive, and it couldn't have been better.

Love stories can't get more painful to witness than this Pushkin long poem of pride and self denial.

MCT:April 19, 2006
A very over-looked movie, unfortunately... In my opinion, one of the most beautiful films ever made... Very visual, and very poetic, and perfectly acted by Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler : maybe one of their best performances, especially Liv Tyler... A great adaptation of Puskkin's poem, and definetely a deep observation of love and obsession bewteen men and women... Breathtaking movie
