Onegin
Director: Martha Fiennes
Actors: Ralph Fiennes, Martin Donovan, Liv Tyler
Release Date: Monday 30th November -0001
Running time: 145 minutes
Eugene Onegin (Fiennes) inherits a country estate and falls in love with the beautiful Tatyana (Tyler) with tragic consequences. Strong on tone and atmosphere, but lacking tension and narrative drive, Onegin is a beautiful movie to look at but constitutes something of an endurance test at two-and-a-half hours. All of the characters are cold and distant, factors which don't lend themselves to audience empathy.
