Turgenev's Month in the Country
"Burning hate is hidden within the most ardent love"--Ivan Turgenev. Here is one of the earliest and best Russian psychological dramas. Beautiful Natalia (Suzannah York) trifles with Rakitin's love for four years, then seeks to recapture the passions of her youth in an affair with young Beleyev (Ian McShane). This classic is both tragic and pathetically comic in the grand tradition of Chekhov.
