An Uneventful Story (1983)

Directed by Wojciech Has

Overview

A well-known professor of medicine finding himself at the threshold of autumn of his life, takes stock of his achievements and experiences. “In the end it ends with what has been known for a long time: that conscious life without a fixed worldview is not life, but torment, horror. - wrote Anton Chekhov in one of his letters summarizing “An Uninteresting Story”. The protagonist, Professor Nikolai Stepanovich, is a character characteristic of Chekhov’s entire oeuvre - a Russian intellectual from the late nineteenth century, depressed by boredom and a sense of his own uselessness and the meaninglessness of his existence.
