Review of Anna Karenina (2012) by O___0 — 16 Aug 2016

The film’s intentionally theatrical nature describes the publicly view-able nature of the Russian aristocracy, plainly illustrating the social implications of Anna’s affair. And like Tolstoy’s masterpiece, it gracefully shifts between the many scenes in the complex narrative.

But the stylized production does not detract from the precise yet emotional performances by Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Matthew Macfadyen and others.
