Type: biographical ✦✦✦

Physician of bodies, fine investigator of soulsAnton Chekhov, in this 2015 film, which was worth recovering, is the pivot of a family and cinematic landscape that is the creator of creation: the protective sister (Lolita Chammah), the five brothers, the women in love with him and his talent, the publishers seduced from the very first short stories published under a pseudonym.
Nicolas Giraud and Lolita Chammah in the film “Anton Chekhov”
In the story of the years between 1885 and 1890, between the beginning of recognition by the literary milieu and the report from the island of Sakhalin, what remains is the domestic and sentimental portrait of a giant with fragile health and a vocation that is always put to the testfor which writing was also “food performance”.
