Gathered together on a country estate is a group of relations and old acquaintances. Uncle Vanya, his niece Sonya, and the local doctor, Astrov, find their lives disturbed and threatened by the arrival of a beautiful young woman and her older husband... "Vanya" is a unique filmed production of Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya", as adapted by David Mamet. A film by Louis Malle of Andre Gregory's acclaimed stage production which came to life in 1990, it provides an unprecedented forum for a unique collaboration of two master directors, each in their own medium: Louis Malle and Andre Gregory in film and stage respectively. Framed as a rehearsal under the direction of Andre Gregory, we enter the slightly altered world of Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya". (Pyramide Distribution)
