Review of Anna Karenina (2012) by Tvjerry — 03 Dec 2012
Joe Wright, director of this version of the Tolstoy classic, has chosen to emphasize the theatrical nature of the period by setting most of the locations in a theatre: on stage, backstage and in the house.
This sometimes creates a flowing, dancelike style that harkens to Luhrmann and Fellini. It also gets in the way of creating a cohesive and moving experience. Some of the scenery and all of the costumes are stunning.
The performers do nicely, but the fervor that should drive the drama is uneven.
