I'm Happy after buyingThis Anna Karenina
This is one of those films that defy explanation in words. It is very rare for me to be glued to my seat for every second of a two hour film but that is exactly what happened. It takes perhaps ten minutes into the film to grasp not just the story--which is well known and been done countless times--but the way the story is being told and how. It is a daring and contemporary move giving this old classic fresh new life.
Everything about the film from the costume s, sets and cinematography was breathtakingly stunning almost to the point of removing it totally from reality. You almost cannot believe what you are watching and experiencing.
Kiera Knightly, multi-layered and as beautiful as ever as Anna pulls you in with her right up to the shattering climax. I will watch it again and again and be as riveted as I was the first time.
A work of art . don't miss it.
I read Anna Karenina a few years back. But I never unstood why the title says Karenina, when the last name was Karenin. Can anyone tell me why?
ReplyDeleteKiera Knightly overacted in a two-hours-too-long film version of Anna Karenina that resembled a soap opera version of Tolstoy's work...changed the story line to make drama where there was only false ideas that felt odd and did not balance.
ReplyDeletein the movie Anna Karenina, they danced the waltz to Dance with me - Dario Marianelli. I would like to know how to dance this particular waltz. the problem lies with i cant find anything that tells me how to dance it. hope you can help me find something that can help me learn this waltz. tks!
ReplyDeleteIn Joe Wright's Anna Karenina, Vronski Kitty and Anna makes this beautiful dance with their hands. What's it called? Is it still popular?
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading Anna Karenina and now I don't know what to read. Here's some books that I've read and liked a lot: Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Jude the Obscure. I like classic books like that, what books should I read?
ReplyDeleteCan you recommend me some good books/websites about the similarities between Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and Flaubert's Madame Bovary?
ReplyDeleteAny book dealers or collectors know the value of a first edition of Anna Karenina? It is not in the best shape but we found it at a book sale and are curious to its worth.
