Rent Uncle Vanya (1962)

A film of the highly acclaimed Chichester Festival Theatre production of Anton Chekhov's play Uncle Vanya directed by Laurence Oliver. Chekhov's portrayal of the frustrations and disillusions of advancing age and the numbing boredom of provincial life in 1890's Russia, is here effortlessly performed by probably the most talented and prestigious cast ever assembled for this work. An outstanding production of significant historical importance.
