La steppa
Alberto Lattuada / IT, FR, YUCS, 1962 / 100 min.
Adaptation by Alberto Lattuada of one of Anton Chekhov’s most beautiful stories. A boy travels across the Russian steppe to the big city to become an adult. Lattuada switches between the comic and the dramatic, with stunning shots of the endless landscape.
‘The Steppe’ is one of the most well-loved of Anton Chekhov’s stories. Alberto Lattuada, as a director at home in many genres – from neo-realist drama to commedia all’italiana and literary adaptations – was also gripped by the theme of the journey-that-leads-to-adulthood.
