THEATER ON SCREEN: Rimas Tuminas’ UNCLE VANYA

Movie in San Jose and Los Angeles.

Rimas Tuminas' reimagining of Anton Chekhov's tale about broken illusions and dashed hopes is freed from its traditional trappings, leaving behind a battlefield for passions and colliding ambitions. This "Uncle Vanya" is about what Chekhov’s characters think and what they admit to only at moments of emotional turmoil. Featuring the inimitable Sergey Makovetskiy as Voynitsky.

Filmed before a live audience from Moscow’s Vakhtangov Theatre.

Event Length 3 hours (includes a 15 minute intermission)
Russian with English subtitles
