Avis de l'équipe
The highly acclaimed actor Kenneth Branagh creates a dreamlike experience with his performance of Russian playwright and author Anton Chekhov’s short work, "A Story Without a Title". A charismatic sinner with a subversive message turns up at an isolated monastery. His message inspires the Father Superior to venture out and save the citizens from their sins. In turn, his report on the charms of the Devil he has witnessed seduces his brethren to see for themselves, leaving him as the monastery’s lone inhabitant in this captivating selection from the In the Ravine and Other Stories collection of stories.
Description
This is a story from the In the Ravine and Other Stories collection.
Anton Chekhov, one of the finest masters of what is acknowledged as a difficult genre. There is the richly comic "Oh! The Public" about a hassled ticket inspector, a wry look at morals and manners in "The Chorus Girl", and the melancholic tale of a cab driver in "Misery".
Perhaps the finest of all is the novella "In The Ravine", a minutely observed look at life in a village through the eyes of one family. All the characters come to life with their foibles, their strengths, and their hopes. Kenneth Branagh uses his natural talent for characterisation to bring this village to life.The other short stories in this collection are: "The Trousseau", "A Story Without a Title", "Children", "Fat and Thin", "The Beggar", "Hush!", "The Orator", and "An Actor's End".
