Nearly a thousand miles away from their beloved Moscow, Chekhov's Three Sisters live in virtual exile. OIga , a schoolmistress, attempts to support her siblings and the home that is the soIe Iegacy of their late army officer father. Masha finds reIief from her empty marriage in an affair with a passionate young coIonel, pIayed by Alan Bates . lrina , the youngest, wiIls herself to return the affections of an ardent suitor in the hopes that he will whisk her off to the city before it is too late. Intoxicated by yesterday's triumphs and heedIess of tomorrow’s disasters, the Three Sisters are Ieft to sift through the debris of their shattered dreams on the eve of the social and poIitical upheavaI that wiIl transform Russia forever.
Stepping behind the camera for the first time since 1957's The Princess and the Showgirl, director Laurence OIivier demonstrates the same facility for cinematic expression that made his filmed version of Hamlet and Henry V so definitive. ln Olivier's assuredly brisk, gracefuI, meticulous and witty rendering of Chekhov's masterpiece, the sisters are doomed to remain in their provincial purgatory. Olivier shepherds his cast of NationaI Theater of London members through a compeIIing drama that never stoops to cIiché. Photographed by ace British Iensman Geoffrey Unsworth , OIivier and his cast propel Chekhov's pIay into a film that The New York Times' Vincent Canby acclaimed as "Something quite rare." |
