Uncle Vanya (Russian: Дядя Ваня, translit. Dyadya Vanya) is a 1970 film adaptation of the Anton Chekhov play of the same title and directed by Andrey Konchalovskiy.

Synopsis

Serebryakov, a retired professor and his beautiful, much younger second wife, Yeléna, visit their country estate, which funds their urban lifestyle. Vanya, brother of the Professor's first wife, who manages the farm estate, and the local Doctor Astrov, both fall under Yelena's spell, while complaining of the endless ennui of their provincial existence. Astrov is an experienced physician who performs his job conscientiously, but has lost all idealism and spends much of his time drinking. Sofya, the Professor's daughter by his first wife, who works to keep the estate going with her uncle Vanya, meanwhile suffers from lack of esteem over what she sees as her own lack of beauty, and from an unrequited love for Dr. Astrov. Matters are brought to a head when the Professor announces his intention to sell the estate, Vanya and Sofya's home, to achieve a higher income for himself and his wife.

La tragédie de William Shakespeare. Sur les remparts d'Elseneur, Hamlet voit apparaître le spectre de son père, ex roi du Danemark, qui lui révèle qu'il a été empoisonné pendant son sommeil par son frère Claudius avec la complicité de son épouse, la reine Gertrude. Le régicide lui a donc ravi sa femme, le trône et la vie. Afin de le venger, le jeune prince simule la folie et délaisse sa fiancée Ophélie. Au cours d'une explication avec sa mère, Hamlet croyant tuer l'usurpateur poignarde le chambellan Polonius. Sa fille, Ophélie devient folle et se suicide en se jetant dans une rivière. Laertes voulant venger son père provoque Hamlet en duel. Claudius pour être sûr de l'élimination de son neveu fournit une épée dont l'extrémité a trempé dans le poison au frère d'Ophélie. Au cours du combat les fleurets changent de main et Hamlet, bien que blessé, atteint Laertes, qui à l'agonie lui explique le plan machiavélique de son beau-père. Hamlet assassine Claudius tandis que sa mère meurt en buvant le breuvage empoisonné qui était réservé à son fils.
