Tri Sestry

Okay, every film of "Three Sisters" works from the same script, so it's other things that make the difference. I've seen this play about 9 times, have watched several video performances, and this is bar none the best. The acting stands out -- Each character is perfect for me -- exactly what I figure Chekov had in mind. One comparison as an example. The scene with the doctor and the spinning top. Laurence Olivier treats it as a Shakespearean soliloquy, but in this performance, the doctor nails the role. Just one of many examples. The sets and costumes are also great, and just as they should be. I wish that all screen renditions of classics were this good.
