Onegin
In the opulent St. Petersburg of the Empire period, Eugene Onegin is a jaded but dashing aristocrat – a man often lacking in empathy, who suffers from restlessness, melancholy and, finally, regret. Through his best friend Lensky, Onegin is introduced to the young Tatiana. A passionate and virtuous girl, she soon falls hopelessly under the spell of the aloof newcomer and professes her love for him

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Absolutely the worst movie.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The acting in this movie is really good.
a good adaptation. the right performances. the atmosphere of a time when all does other sense of small things and gestures and words. it is strange to describe something who seems be more than a trip across the poem of Pushkin. because it is a reinvention of a world who impress for the status of contemporary story. for the precise, fine performances, for the states of Onegin , each of it defining the fall of a world too empty. a film about desire and love. the delicacy of the creation of the characters represents one of basic virtues. then, Liam Neeson who becomes, scene by scene, the perfect Onegin. not the least, the music. sure , to use Chaikovski is a better choice but Beethoven , in this case, has its precious purpose to reflect emotions with deep roots in the story. short, a beautiful film. in many senses.
A truly spectacular film with so many visual, psychological and melancholy delights that it is hard to know whom or what to praise more. Ralph Fiennes executes a stunning performance as the aloof, sarcastic disillusioned aristocrat managing a performance which combines a great deal of emotion and extreme surface passivity; Liv Tyler is at her most beautiful in one of her best performances to date as the poignant Tatiana who, as the film unfolds, evolves from passionate idealism into resignation and honour; and Martha Fiennes proves herself as part and parcel of the elite group of great directors... The filming is of high quality; a lot of very English wit and charm. A film which will appeal to those who enjoy BBC dramatisations, classics such as Cate Blanchett's performance in Elizabeth, Shakespeare in Love, etc.Enjoy!
the basic topic of this movie is love and faithfulness.the movie and it's tough background basically comes from ^aleksandr sergeyevic puskin^'s book namely 'yevgeni onegin '.there are lot of vital stages on the film.the beginning of love and the fact that being felt in love to some one has described realistically.there are some minor details that gives the path to create impressive movie as this one.one of that detail is the owner of a latter is the one who is obtained not the one writes.perhaps this sounds meaningless at first glance but this if you go into the details,it would become touching. at the further steps of the movie becomes a combat between 'Ralph Fiennes' and 'Liv Tyler'in terms of acting but there is no loser in this fight both of them are victorious.i suggest this film to everyone don't let the low vote average prevent you to watch it.
Only people with a British/American mind who never read Onegin in the original version can enjoy this. The movie is made in a British way, things that are being displayed in the film are more suitable for England, not Russia. Not to talk about the awful Russian music. The music is good and pretty well known in Russia, but... this was composed in the middle of the 20th century (some of it was used before as soundtracks to cult Russian films) definitely unsuitable for the time Onegin lived in.Nevertheless, most of the world would think it's good movie, and it is. But the Russians would find it quite laughable and wrong. Hence this movie isn't REALLY good.Fiennes and Tyler are casted well.
