from 55 members

Coming of age drama set in 1800's Russia, starring Kirsten Dunst and Nick Stahl. Vladimir (Stahl) is the son of middle class parents who take summer residence next door to the house where Zinaida (Dunst) lives with her hard-drinking mother, the Princess Zasyekin (Julie Walters). Hired as page to the neighbours, Vladimir soon falls head over heels for Zinaida. She, however, has a string of suitors falling over themselves for a sniff of her perfume and mostly they're more moneyed and sophisticated than the green lad. Realising he has a way to go before being fit for such a lady of breeding - Vlad begins to spy on Zinaida day and night. What he discovers about the delicate, pure Zinaida's nocturnal to-ings and fro-ings, he could scarcely have predicted.

Terrible

By Stephen Hawkins from Forest of Dean, UK , 05 Sep 2007

[Highly rated reviewer]

Don't rent this. The story is lame, as is the acting. A little difficult to always know what was going on but you lost caring about what was going on as soon as the main character started a voice-over narrating his own thoughts. A waste of a title to have sent.

Drivel

By ItsMe (149 reviews) from Basingstoke , 30 May 2009

This can be summed up in just a few words, banal drivel - no story, the most dreadful acting ever, boring. Kirsten Dunst was abysmal and her silly English upper crust accent was irritating to say the least. I fell asleep during it about 3 times. Kept waiting for some story to emerge or some excitement. None was forthcoming. Waste of time, money, effort. Film should never have been made. How Julie Walters and Nathanial Parker got mixed up in this nonsense defies belief.
