Chekhov on film

Been there.

Over at Alex on Film I’ve been watching some film adaptations of the work of Anton Chekhov. He’s not a writer who gets the big-screen treatment very often, at least in English-language productions. And the films that have been made tend to be very stagey. Still, they each have their strengths.

Uncle Vanya (1957)
The Cherry Orchard (1962)
Three Sisters (1970)
Three Sisters (1970 BBC)
Uncle Vanya (1970 BBC)
Uncle Vanya (1970 Mosfilm)
The Seagull (1978)
The Cherry Orchard (1981)
Uncle Vanya (1991)
Days and Nights (2013)
The Seagull (2018)
Drive My Car (2021)
