She is unhappy and lives only for their son, Seriozha. The film is the only international version filmed entirely in Russia, at locations in Saint Petersburg and Moscow.Īnna Karenina is the young and elegant wife of Alexei Karenin, a wealthy Russian nobleman twenty years her senior. Eventually, the conflict between her passionate desires and painful social realities leads to depression and despair. Based on the 1878 novel of the same name by Leo Tolstoy, the film is about a young and beautiful married woman who meets a handsome count, with whom she falls in love. My rating is a touch on the high side (relative to what one should expect), but it suits some of my tastes, and I personally enjoyed this film quite a bit.Anna Karenina is a 1997 American period drama film written and directed by Bernard Rose and starring Sophie Marceau, Sean Bean, Alfred Molina, Mia Kirshner and James Fox. This is a commercial production, but a very creative and interesting one. All-in-all, Anna Karenina is a good film with rewatch value. On the other hand, the scenes between Anna and her husband (played by Jude Law) have very good dramatic tension and draw the film through each act. The main downside of the film is that Count Vronsky does not come off as someone worth ruining oneself over (though perhaps others will think different). The film looks great and the stage-play motif is brought off magnificently with vital creative spirit. Kiera Knightly plays a very sympathetic Anna: natural, and not exactly naive, but at the same time does not really know what she is doing as she is pulled about by her "demon". At first, it can be a bit confusing, because it is like a musical piece that one has to hear more than once to get the feel of but a good amount of feeling does go into the film. Anna Karenina is a great story, and this is an adaptation that gets better each time you see it.
