Given that for Russians, Pushkin's poem Eugene Onegin is sort of like Hamlet, Beowulf, and Lord Byron's Don Juan rolled into one melancholy tale of lost love and ennui among the gentry, it's surprising Russian filmmakers have balked at adapting the film. Having taken a stage production of Hamlet to Russia where it was rapturously received, self-confessed Slavophile actor Ralph Fiennes must have thought he was making reparation when he executive-produced and starred in this faithful adaptation of the film. With Martha Fiennes on board as director, it's something of a family affair with more than a little of the solemnity one often discovers in "personal projects". Pushkin's romanticism comes across amply, but little of his ferocious wit or, inevitably, the authorial voice that makes the poem so compelling, even in translation. Ralph Fiennes typecasts himself in the title role: his Onegin is yet another of the actor's wintry, haunted lovers in period dress (this time early 19th century). The character, a jaded roué from St. Petersburg, summers in the countryside where he inadvertently wins the heart of the impulsive Tatyana (Liv Tyler, the girl they book when Gwyneth Paltrow's busy). Onegin's casual attitude to her love leads to a tragic duel (magnificently tense and perfectly staged), and years later a chance meeting stirs up feelings of regret, triumph, and moral queasiness. Tears well in eyes, letters are sent and read, furs are ruffled in the snow. This is the highbrow end of costume drama: patrician in its literary purity, and rather admirable in its restraint and good taste, if a little dull. --Leslie Felperin

I was drawn to this movie after seeing Marthe Fiennes latest work: Chromophobia.
Liv Tyler is absolutely gorgeous to watch but she is wooden and bland. No doubt this would not have become apparent should she have been paired with less seasoned and brilliant actors, but in the company of Ralf Fiennes, Toby Stevens, and the like, she is clearly out of her depth. She did the best she could and clearly gave a performance that stretched her prior abilities, but the director might be the ... Read More

I ordered "Onegin" a film placed on DVD. This movie was beautifully photographed in St. Petersburg, Russia and its surrounding countryside. Starring Ralph Fiennes and Liv Tyler, this film was a romance quite unlike any love story anyone has viewed. Originally, the novel was written by Alexander Pushkin and then transferred into an Opera composed by Pyotr llych Tchaikovsky. It's now in beautiful color on DVD; and for all of you who love a good period romance, this is the movie for you to view. ... Read More

I love Finnes and the period, however, this movie is a mixed bag. I love the period pieces, and this movie certainly has beautiful scenery. I think the characters are a bit stilted, probably the direction, and yet, I liked it. It won't be my fav, but it's part of my collection.

I was very fortunate to go to a high school that offered Russian language classes, and my teacher was a Russian aristocrat who escaped the country during the Bolshevik Revolution. She introduced me to Pushkin, and to this story. I thought it would have made a great film (Tchaikovsky made it an opera), and had high hopes for this. Unfortunately, it appears that the nepotism in this film brought about its downfall, particularly in that Martha focused on Ralph's face to distraction. And although ... Read More

This movie was superb in it's setting, keeping to the dress and life and social activities of the period it was set in, the 1800's I think. If you liked Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, you'll like this one but I thought it could have gone further with the story. Besides that, a good collaboration between Ralph and his sister Martha who produced the movie with Ralph also starring as Onegin.
