Review of Onegin (1999) by Dawdlingpoet — 25 Nov 2021

I found the main character quite pompous and odious. I liked the somewhat lavish and opulent settings and the costumes/dresses/uniform of the time. It is a slow paced film but its none the less interesting to learn about various peoples backgrounds. It was surprisingly atmospheric at times. I also quite liked how Tatiana talked to Onegin (which is pronounced 'on-yay-gh-inn' by others in the film, for reference).

This is a somewhat arty film I suppose, with some nice classical music played and some good camera shots used to make scenes, such as the dances, more engrossing and atmospheric. One of the final scenes I found most compelling viewing, with the two main characters opening up in hushed tones.
