Anton Chekhovs Three Sisters Feature Film

In a small Russian town at the turn of the century, three sisters (Olga, Irina, and Masha) and their brother Andrei live but dream daily of their return to their former home in Moscow, where life is delightful. But for now they exist in a malaise of dissatisfaction. Soldiers from the local military post provide them some companionship and society, but nothing can suffice to replace Moscow in their hopes. Andrei marries a provincial girl, Natasha, and begins to loose his purpose on life. Natasha begins to control the family her way. Masha, though married, yearns for the sophisticated life and begins a dalliance with another man. Even Irina, the youngest, most optimistic of the sisters, begins to waver in her dreams until, finally, tragedy strikes.

I look forward to seeing Ocean Troups movie rendition of Anton Chekhovs Three Sisters. The cinematography in the trailer appears stunning. There is a 1970 movie adaptation from the stage play. It was directed by Laurence Olivier. I love watching classic movies; however, I have yet to see the movie on Cable TV.
