Dark Eyes (also known as Oci ciornie and Ochi chyornye) is a 1987 Italian and Russian language film which tells the story of a 19th century married Italian who falls in love with a married Russian woman. It stars Marcello Mastroianni, Oleg Tabakov, Yelena Safonova, Pina Cei and Vsevolod Larionov.
The movie was adapted by Aleksandr Adabashyan, Suso Cecchi D'Amico and Nikita Mikhalkov, "inspired by" stories by Anton Chekhov. It was directed by Mikhalkov.
Mastroianni received Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor, although Russian critics vociferated that the Russian actors outplayed him.
