      A successful adaptation (to be updated)

      It was a total accident to see this movie.

      Last year, the Russian drama "Evgeny Onegin", which won a lot of praise at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, was introduced to China this year, and tickets were bought early. Because the reviews were super good and it was an adaptation of Pushkin's famous novel,...

    Onegin quotes

    • Tatyana Larina: Why? Why do you pursue me like this?

    • Evgeny Onegin: [writing to Tatyana] I can forsee the bitter scorn blazing at me from your proud eyes when you have read my secret sorrow. When we first met, through chance, I saw tenderness like a shooting star but did not dare to put my faith in it. Then Lensky fell, which parted us til further. Then I tore my heart away from everything I loved, rootless, estranged from all, I thought that liberty and peace would serve instead of happiness. My God, how wrong I was. How I have been punished. No, day by day to be with you, follow you everywhere, alive to every smile, each movement of your eyes, to dwell upon you soul's perfection, listen to your voice and grow faint with yearning. That is bliss and I'm cut off from it. My time is short, each day and hour is precious yet I just drag myself around in boredom. Everyday a desert unless when I wake up I know the day will bring a glimpse of you. If you but knew the flames that burn in me, which I attempt to beat down with my reason, but let it be. I cannot struggle against my feelings anymore, I am entirely in your will.
