Sobre este filme

Academy Award-nominee Keira Knightley, Academy Award-nominee Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson dazzle in this stunning new vision of Leo Tolstoy's epic love story. At the twilight of an empire, Anna Karenina (Keira Knightley), the beautiful high-ranking wife of one of imperial Russia's most esteemed men (Jude Law), has it all. But when she meets the dashing cavalry officer Vronsky (Taylor-Johnson), there is a mutual spark of instant attraction that cannot be ignored. She's immediately swept up in a passionate affair that will shock a nation and change the lives of everyone around her. From acclaimed director Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and Academy Award-winning writer Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) comes this visually enchanting masterpiece hailed by critics as "ecstatic" (Time), "rapturous" (MSN Movies) and "a spectacle that has to be seen to be believed!" (The Huffington Post)

This movie looks like a parody of the story in the novel, because scenes intertvine her out of chronological order, the mental states of characters are never shown, characters who should be shy look confident (sometimes even arrogant) in this movie. Yes, some of the effects, such as the whole movie being presented as part of a play on stage are innovative and well executed, but other effects, such as the ridiculous shaving and face-twisting that Oblonsky displays right at the beginning of this picture are just plain innacurate and demining. Rest assured that Anna's household is not dirrectly shown to us in the novel, I assume mostly because Anna is a somewhat mysterious figure, presented by Tolstoy as having lived her share of difficulties and sorrows, but yet pleasant and captivating. In the movie, if we know everything about her straight away, she no longer appears to be quite resolute and determined. Instead, she appears to be following wishes. I have attained an impression from this movie that it tries to move fast, squeezing everything from the novel into just two hours, and so perhaps giving the movie a time for detail of at least another 45 minutes would have helped.

Absolutely stunning; a whirlwind romance that grabs you by the arm and tears you through heart ache and searing infatuation so hard you might get whiplash. Such a beautiful and theatrical take, it has to be one of my favourite films.

Visually stunning, with the most beautifully imaginative, theatrical staging. Even Kiera Knightly isn't annoying. Could watch this time and again and see more in it each time: fabulous.
