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 2012 historical romantic drama film directed by Joe Wright. ![]() 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. ![]()
