    • Quotes

      Medvedenko: Why do you always wear black?

      Masha: I'm in mourning for my life.

      Medvedenko: Why? You're healthy. You have enough money to get by. Life's a lot harder for me. I'm a schoolteacher. I hardly make anything. You don't see me all in black.

      Masha: It's not about money. Even a poor man can be happy.

      Medvedenko: Every day, I meet with nothing but indifference from you.

      Masha: Stop it, Medvedenko. I'm touched by your love. I just can't return it. That's all.

    A rather dull film

    This film tells the story of an entangled web of loving feelings in an estate in 19th Century Russia.

    I really like the two leading actresses, but they still are unable to save the film from being incredibly slow and dull. I really wanted to like it, but I was bored out of my mind.
