The Russian film 'Tchaikovsky's Wife', which entered the competition section of the 75th Cannes Film Festival, will be released in Korea on May 1.
'Tchaikovsky's Wife' is a melodrama that depicts the unconventional love between Russia's greatest composer Tchaikovsky and his wife Antonina in a bold and stylish production by world-famous director Kirill Serebrennikov, selected by the Cannes Film Festival for the fourth consecutive time. Director Kirill Serebrennikov, who has always surprised us with avant-garde and provocative works such as 'The Student' (2016) and 'Leto' (2018), actively uses his brilliant career of directing plays, operas, and ballets to create a stylish and A sensuous mise-en-scène was completed.
In the teaser poster released this time, the empty gaze of Tchaikovsky's wife, Antonina Miliukova, who waits for only Tchaikovsky in the crowd, and the copy at the end of that gaze that reads “This love is so painfully lonely” persisted throughout their 16-year marriage. It makes you imagine her extreme loneliness.
At the same time, it raises questions about how her pure enthusiasm, which had dreamed of only being Tchaikovsky's wife from the day she first saw Tchaikovsky, is frustrated when she meets Tchaikovsky, and where her infinite persistence to protect this love until the end comes from.
In the teaser trailer released together, the copy “God, I will protect this love until the end” follows the anxious gaze of Antonina, who runs away crying as if she cannot even acknowledge Tchaikovsky's death, and catches the eye.
Director Kirill Serebrennikov's latest film 'Tchaikovsky's Wife' will be available in theaters nationwide on May 1.
