Anna Karenina
2:34
Trailer for Anna Karenina
Director Joe Wright reteams with Keira Knightley for this version of Anna Karenina, which boasts a script by Tom Stoppard. Knightley stars as the title character, a Russian woman who cheats on her respected husband (Jude Law) with a young soldier (Aaron Johnson) and suffers greatly for her betrayal. Wright sets the action in a theater, often segueing from scene to scene by utilizing different spaces within the same set. Anna Karenina screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.

Jake Wilson, The Age (Australia)
Trying to one-up Tolstoy was always going to be a bad idea, though I wouldn't object to seeing a Bond movie, or Les Miserables, staged in the same way.

David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia)
Joe Wright uses the theatre and has the actors taking part in a stage production which then moves out into the real world. I think that's done beautifully.

Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia)
Well, Joe Wright has done it. His ANNA KARENINA is a triumph.

Ed Gibbs, The Sun Herald
Wright's staged version tries desperately to gain one's attention (which it does) and engage one's affection (which it doesn't).
