The Lady with the Little Dog (1959)
(Dama s Sobachkoi)
Country: USSR
Technical: bw 90m
Director: Josef Heifits
Cast: Ya Savvina, Alexei Batalov
Synopsis:
A husband on business by the Black Sea meets a young woman, also married, but does not quite have the courage to rupture their lives by taking the affair further.
Review:
Achingly romantic mood piece, impeccably evoking its turn of the century setting in crisp monochrome and with one of those other-worldly faces in the title role that only Russia seems able to produce.
