Scott R @ScottR Mar 4, 2026 NYT 1000 films. A focus on a love obsession. From a prominent Italian man who married into money who follows his love fling to rural Russia, only to be left to a tragic, ironic ending. Saw on box. See more Sep 27, 2020 More important now than it was in 1987. I find it interesting, and saddening, how the American field of critics reviewed and parsed the film so naively, so "missed-the-point". In 2020, as an American citizen, art historian, and widow of an Italian creative who flourished in the 60s to 90s, I must say that the way this film was countenanced in such a fly-by disconnect way, a total missed-the-whole-point way, and was misconstrued as something about "love" or "lost love", portends for me, the miasma the American mind (if there is such a thing, really) has submersed itself in. A brilliant film that genuinely reflects: the human condition; the flow of human life through all of its "isms" and "isn'ts"; the ambiguity of everything we experience and intend; and the indelible nuances that still hold sway as the irrevocable DNA of Russian and Italian culture. That DNA thrives in these cultures, as it does in the hearts of humans squirming up through the layers of any and every culture they emerge from. All cultural perspectives have validity, and they all inform the hearts and hopes and biases and stances and priorities of the people who have been steeped in them from birth, youth, and other critical times of life. So be it. See more steve d @RT35616104 Jul 12, 2020 I normally like Chekhov but thought this dragged.
