MOVIE REVIEW: This local film is a unique South African take on Anton Chekhov's classic play
Each of Chekhov's skillfully drawn characters – the vain and self-absorbed theatre diva Irene ; her ailing and ageing brother Piet ; the self-doubting, insecure, lovelorn playwright and neglected son Konstant ; the nai¨ve, ingenue Nina ; the gloomy, alcoholic, dope smoking Masha ;
the cheerful philosopher and witness to the drama Dr Eugene ; the brash farm manager Elias ; his long suffering wife Paulina ; the puppy dog, poverty-stricken teacher Simon ; and the famous writer Boors – grapple with inner fears, longings, doubts, regrets, recriminations and miseries.
