🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its tense drama almost solely through the protagonist's confession, relying on Tolstoy's formidable source material. It explores jealousy as a sickness of the soul, where sublime music transforms into an instrument of psychic torture.

What lingers after the final frame is the chilling anatomy of a possession that masquerades as love, and the haunting question of where art ends and obsession begins. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Vladimir Gardin
