Several Chekhov stories blended together, with most of the delicacy that that name stands for ruthlessly expunged: aristocrats and bureaucrats of Eisensteinian exaggeration, musical peasants, a lovers' embrace in a blizzard of chicken feathers. Marcello Mastroianni, as a skirt-chaser in genuine love, behaves in that unbuttoned manner he tends to adopt when a movie is of little consequence. With Elena Sofonova, Marthe Keller, and Silvana Mangano; directed by Nikita Mikhalkov. (1987) — Duncan Shepherd
