honest. full of nuances from Pushkin lines. the secret - at first sigh - a good director. and presence of Alla Demidova, excellent guide on the halls of work. but, in same time, precious atmosphere, the sparkles of details and respect for story. in same measure, the experience of Soviet cinema who saves pieces of a literary text to build a delicate jewel like a delightful fresco. warm colors, precise characters. and delicate drawing. Smoktunovsky in a brilliant role, Viktor Proskurin as realistic Hermann, Elena Glagoleva - impressive as countess Anna and the town as scene, actor and shadow of drama. an old piece of literature in new clothes. must see it ! for the charming seductive Russian precise art.
