A totally engaging screen adaptation of the Nabokov novel of the same name (subsequently re-named "Mary"), Maschenka is all about the beauty of memories.Cary Elwes gives one of the best performances of his career (before he sold out to Hollywood) as the young Ganin, a Russian émigré coming to terms with his new life in Berlin.
It is about a young man escaping from revolutionary Russia, leaving his memory of the beautiful country together with the memory of his first love. It questions the meaning of love: what is it that one wants when a person is in love?
