    Absurdity and exceptional mediocrity
    The story might have been an adaptation of a classic, but the acting in some cases are so extremely over the top it made me stare in disbelief at the absurdities. If that was the idea, maybe it would have made sense... There were some scenes that were very accurate for the culture of the era, but there are some phrases that are absolutely wrong, and most of the story felt rather forced, over acted, and superficial. A comedy turned tragic indeed.

    This film walked a line from the start. Somewhere inbetween something good and entertaining and something dreadfully mediocre. For me it turned out to be the latter.

    The decor is filled with russian art and influence as a reminder of the original. That however does not make up for the film itself.
