Movie Reviews of The Cherry Orchard (1981 and 1962 Versions)
Movie Review: To those who love theater
Summary: 5 Stars
The two productions of The Cherry Orchard, last play written by Chekhov, presented in this DVD: the first one, by The Royal Shakespeare Company (1962) and the second, by BBC (1981)are a blessing to those who love theater. It's interesting to compare the way the productions dealt with the text and the great number of characters on stage,(Once upon a time, it was possible to do so) in a gap of almost twenty years of technology. We are talking about a play performed to a TV audience, anyway. It's also an opportunity to observe the peculiarities of the performances of each actor/actress. The way each one creates his/her own character. The black and white version - that could bore us - on the contrary exactly for being less distracting, highlights the performances.
It's a pleasure to see Dame Judi Dench as a beautiful young lady in her twenties giving her first steps in what would be a great career, showing from the beginning the same dramatic vigour that characterizes her. Late, already a more mature actress, she comes out with this rhythm of her, a balance between inner and outer strengh of saying things, a gift of telling much with less or no effort. Beautiful indeed! As a bonus, a very good interview she gave to Richard Eyre, the 1981's version's director. I wonder if someday we could have a series like this here in Brazil.
