Save Shakespeare, Chekhov would be the literary giant whose jobs are most often adapted for your screen. Based upon his eponymous 1891 novella, "The Duel" gives life to the classic Chekhovian tale: the young ne'er-do-well aristocrat vs. the arrogant man of science; the attraction of the manipulative, narcissistic mistress vs. everything in the mind in addition to principled action. Gambling, alcohol and flirtations consummated within the impossibly beautiful countryside hold obvious attractions for Laevsky. But he's mentioned short when financial ruin and his awesome mistress's sexual dalliances can lead to a violent denouement. Dover Kosashvili, director of "Late Marriage," assembles a great ensemble cast of British actors who strike the ideal balance between intrigue and that particularly Russian type of ennui we escort Chekhov - but which today might elicit a prescription for Celexa.
