Trivialidades:

The director, Martha Fiennes, is the sister of star Ralph Fiennes. The composer is Magnus Fiennes, Ralph's brother. Sophie Fiennes, another sister of his, also appears in the credits.

Errores:

Anacronismos: The song played at Tatiana's Naming Day feast -- "On the Hills of Manchuria" -- could not be played there, as the movie is set in the first half of the 19th century, and the song was written only in 1906 (and named after tragic events of the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905 years).

Citas:

Vladimir Lensky: Didn't I say don't be late?
Evgeny Onegin: Yes.
Vladimir Lensky: Then why are you late?

Hauntingly beautiful and completely mesmerizing!

This is truly a great and wonderful film! A marvelous adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's classic story about the love and obsession of Eygney Onegin for the beautiful Tantianna Ladin. Ralph Finnes is the young,dashing and playboy Onegin, who goes to settle his deceased uncle's estate in the country. There, he meets the young and beautiful Tantianna Ladin, played astonishingly well and seductively by Liv Tyler. Their love sets off a chain of tragic events that will forever alter their lives. A great tear jerker!

Besides an excellent cast and story, the scenery and majesty of the film is amazing. Filmed in England and Russia, the film gives viewers, a feast for the eyes. The camera work is so well done and every shot is done with such care and precision that it is absolutely breathtaking. Director Martha Finnes has truly outdone herself. The score by Magnus Finnes is also terrific and adds so much depth and feeling to the story.

The costumes are also something to be commended, they are so gorgeous and well made. Bottom line is: great movie for anyone who appreciates good literature and a good period drama. This movie moves along very slowly so action fans beware. However, romance lovers, don't miss this film. 9/10
