Sinekatalog’s take
Alberto Lattuada's film, from Chekhov, follows a boy travelling across the Russian steppe to school with a merchant, a priest and a driver. Charles Vanel and Marina Vlady star in a lyrical, picaresque and gently melancholy adaptation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
