Onegin (Russian: Онегин) is a 2024 Russian historical romance film directed by Sarik Andreasyan, an adaptation of the novel in verse Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin.[1] [2] The film stars Viktor Dobronravov, Denis Prytkov, Yelizaveta Moryak, Tatyana Sabinova, Alyona Khmelnitskaya, and Tatyana Lyutaeva in supporting roles.
Onegin was theatrically released in Russia on March 7, 2024, by Cinema Atmosphere Film Distribution.[3]
Yevgeny Onegin has a luxurious life, which suddenly tired him. Suddenly he finds out about his uncle's illness and he goes to his village, where he discovers that his uncle is dead. However, Yevgeny was not upset, because his uncle was rich and Yevgeny is his only heir.[4]
The director did not want to use a large number of special effects, so it was decided to make the filming as real as possible and move it to places that Pushkin himself actually visited. Filming took place in 2023 in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, among the locations you can see the Pevchesky Bridge, the Sukhanovo estate, and the Great Gatchina Palace.
According to Sarik Andreasyan, it turned out to be impossible to stylize the poetry of Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin under prose, because the characters of the novel speak a language "unaffordable for the modern ear", and the screenwriters found a solution thanks to which the poems will sound natural in the frame.
