Biography of Anton Chekov
A biography of the great Russian writer and doctor, Anton Chekhov, taking him through childhood and family influences, medical studies at Moscow University, and his early literary career. On a trip to Sakhlin, "Devil's Island", Chekhov was greatly influenced by the suffering he saw. We are shown scenes of travels. We also visit the residences where his writing flourished and where he practiced medicine, from Melikhovo to Yalta. The film also covers his world renowned collaboration with the Moscow Art Theater, its founders Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenk, performers Meyerhold and Olga Knipper (whom he eventually married). Chekhov died at the age of 44 from tuberculosis. This film is a biography of Chekov's life that intersperses old photographs of Chekov and his family and friends with contemporary footage of his old homes and haunts. It contains a lot of mellow footage of the Russian countryside and steppes.
