Tchaikovsky's Wife offers a nuanced glimpse into the life of Antonina Milyukova, a woman caught in the whirlwind of her obsession with the great composer. The film has this haunting tone, reflecting the rigidity of 19th century Russian society, yet it also captures the vibrant passion of Antonina's infatuation. Kirill Serebrennikov's direction gives it this immersive atmosphere, where every glance and note feels heavy with longing. The pacing ebbs and flows like a symphony, balancing moments of intense emotionality with quieter, contemplative scenes. Performances, especially from the leads, bring depth to the characters, making their struggles feel palpable. It's distinctive in how it intertwines personal ambition and societal constraints, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of Tchaikovsky's life.
