First-rate acting, but stagey and too long...
“Three Sisters” is a 1974 adaptation of the Anton Chekhov play directed by Laurence Olivier. The upper class Prozoroiv sisters of the title — Masha (Joan Plowright), Olga (Jeanne Watts), and Irina (Louise Purnell) — live in a provincial purgatory nearly a thousand miles away from their beloved Moscow. Intoxicated by yesterday’s triumphs and blind to imminent disasters, the three sisters are left to sift through their shattered dreams on the eve of the social and political upheaval that will transform Russia forever.<br /><br />The film is a literal translation of Olivier’s production for the National Theatre Company of England, and was originally shown as part of the subscription movie service American Film Theatre. The movie suffers from its stage-bound genesis. Little was done to open it up and take advantage of the medium of film to keep the very long (2 hours, 45 minutes) movie visually interesting. Some judicious editing would certainly have made this a better film.<br /><br />Also in the cast are Derek Jacobi, Alan Bates and, as Dr. Ivan Chebutikin, Laurence Olivier. The acting is very good but it is more suitable to the stage than the screen. The performances are often too expansive when subtlety would be more appropriate. Intimate conversations take on the look and sound of grand declamations. To make matters worse, sound quality on this release is sub-standard. In a work so reliant on dialogue, it’s vital to hear the actors clearly. The muddled sound is extremely frustrating.<br /><br />Special features on the PG-rated Blu-ray release include interviews with Alan Bates, executive producer Ely Landau, and a gallery of trailers for the American Film Theatre.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : In this faithful and compelling adaptation of Anton Chekhov s timeless classic, director Laurence Olivier demonstrates the same facility for cinematic expression that made his filmed versions of Hamlet and Richard III so definitive. In Olivier s assuredly brisk, graceful, meticulous, and witty rendering of Chekhov s masterpiece, the sisters (Joan Plowright, Louise Pernell, Jeannie Watts) are doomed to remain in their provincial purgatory, nearly a thousand miles away from their beloved Moscow. Intoxicated by yesterday s triumphs and heedless of tomorrow s disasters, the three sisters are left to sift through the debris of their shattered dreams on the eve of the social and political upheaval that will transform Russia forever.Special Features: Interview with Alan Bates | Interview with Edie Landau | Gallery of trailers for the American Film Theatre.
