Vanya on 42nd Street
Movie Information
In Brief: Director Louis Malle's attention to performance is on full dispalay in this thoroughly '90s update of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, retiming Malle with his My Dinner with Andre stars Wallace Shawn and Andre Gregory for the first time in ten years. It's a remarkable deconstruction of one of Chekhov's most frequently revisited works, with a gutted theatre on 42nd Street in New York providing a blank canvas against which the actors can pull the play away from its roots and decontextualize it with a modern tonality. A must see for theater lovers, fans of Chekhov or Malle devotees.
