August backdrop

August 1996 Directed by Anthony Hopkins

It's really how life can appear with desillusions, good and funny moments, peace, love and hate.

Set in 1890s North Wales over a long, hot August weekend, the Victorian calm of a household is suddenly upset with the arrival of a London couple who impose their city ways and thoughts on the more rurally based family. An adaptation of Anton Chekhov's play, "Uncle Vanya."
