Alexander Pushkin's epic novel "Eugene Onegin" is brought to life in this appropriately sweeping and elegant film adaptation. Ralph Fiennes realises his personal dream to play Onegin, a city boy who inherits a massive country estate and the politics that go with it.
Naturally there's also a complicated love interest provided by a smouldering Liv Tyler, whose flesh tones are delightful in this mastering to DVD. Indeed, it is the superb cinematography, courtesy of Remi Adefarasin, that makes this an essential film to watch on disc. The icy whites and blues look sensational, while the evocative, misty duel in chapter seven is full of haunting detail.
While the picture is brilliant the sound score is less so. Given that the film was made so recently, it's a very poor show indeed that it should only be presented in a rather flat Dolby Surround mix. It's a mistake to assume that only action films should have a proper 5.1 track. That's not to say that the sound on this disc isn't good - it just lacks the atmosphere that 5.1 can provide.
What you do get though on this disc is a series of slightly clumsy interviews and promotional documentaries. Buried within a lot of this gushing chatter is some interesting information on the set design.
