Onegin
Onegin (Fiennes) is a bored, unaffected St. Petersburg aristocrat who inherits his uncle's large estate. When he rejects the advances of his neighbor Tatyana (Tyler), her sister's fiance considers this an offense worth fighting over. In a senseless, tragic duel, Onegin prevails. Six years later, Onegin returns to St. Petersburg and is reintroduced to Tatyana. This time, he falls helplessly in love with her and discovers, crushingly, that she has already married and has no intention on reciprocating his emotions. Fienne's debut as a feature film director is aided greatly by Adefarasin's cinematography, brother Ralph's performance, and Tyler's mere appearance. Based on the classic verse novel EUGENE ONEGIN by Pushkin.

Sumptuous version of a classic tale of doomed love, but one that has an unwonted air of Anglo-Saxon repression about it; and Tyler is miscast.

Strange & Intense
If you're looking for an easy going movie then look again, this film is intense from the outset. As with most of Ralph Fiennes' films it is rather dark... read more »

Intensely Russian
A changed and compressed version of the classic by Pushkin, but nonetheless a very good film with excellent editing and cinematography. The background music ... read more »

Russians' Onedin
Beautifully acted by Fiennes, Tyler. and Stevens. Rather broody and dark at times. These types of films are what Fiennes is all about. Not much of a story but ... read more »

Dry, uninspired, turgid and dull
Read the film's description carefully, because that is the whole of the story. It is the whole of the film also.
