Audience Member Perhaps the most resourceful of all the Anna Karenina films, it presents the full Russian flavor of the story, great cinematography, strong performances, and is well-paced. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member After 20 years of a break i have rewatched this movie, cause it left a lasting iconic imagery with me of how Karenina and Vronsky are supposed to be. But rewatching it now was a disappointment. Such a stiff acting, and such an artificial build up of how the plot develops. Giving it 3 stars, only for the cinematic images it leaves. I prefer the naturalness of Sophie Marceau as Karenina in 1997 movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Russians surely captured the history... I'll have the make the best versions yet, casting is soo hard! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member What film can do justice to the novel written by Tolstoy or any other great Russian novelist? Nevertheless, it's worth watching.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member There is just too much in any Tolstoy novel to truly make a movie. Though a TV mini-series might work better. Anyway, the chief interest if simply an interpretation out of Soviet Russia. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member All CLASSICS are GOOD Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
