The Last Station - (2009)
So last week Kate Roger, our movie reviewer on TV gave this one a nearly perfect score, and the girls and I chose to see this one instead of Sex and the City, which only received a 1/5.
Essentially it is the tale of two love stories. Leo Tolstoy and his wife the Countess Sofya, who is emotional as she tries to keep control of the will and her opinionated husband. Valentin Bulgakov is employed as Tolstoys personal secretary, and is involved in his attempt to create a communal living environment rather than fictional writing.
Tolstoy becomes angry with his wife and leaves, becoming ill on the train, he decamps to a railway station, and it is here that the last drama plays out.
3/5 - it was OK, slightly slow, and the warm cinema caused me to doze off several times. Oh, also we were the youngest crowd in the cinema, it was an early session though, early enough to have time to get home for a curry and then home for Grand Designs. Yippee for Saturday.
