Movie Reviews of Anna Karenina (2000)
Movie Review: The Best Anna Karenina
Summary: 5 Stars
There have been many Anna Karenina adapatations but this 2000 Masterpiece Theatre production I regard as the best. Helen Mcrory is probably the best Anna I have seen. Stephen dillane who plays Karenin portrays his character in very symphatic light you feel bad for his charcter yet you feel bad for Anna in her loveless marriage. Kevin Mckidd plays vronsky and brings charm. And unlike other version Levins story is not cut out. Though the costumes are not as pretty as the 1997 version or the actors as attractive that does not matter this just a enjoyable tragic adaptation of Anna Karenina.
Summary of Anna Karenina (2000)
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. This famous line commences a refreshingly modern interpretation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina--an epic tale of love, duty, marriage and infidelity. This richly detailed film charts the tragic romantic triangle formed when the dashing Count Vronsky defies social conventions and falls into forbidden love with Anna, the ignored wife of an aristocrat. Soon, Anna's children-a son by Alexei and illegitimate daughter by Vronsky-become pawns in Alexei's game to see that Anna pays a terrible price for her indiscretion. With its gripping narrative and unbridled romance, Anna Karenina reveals the uncontrollable passion, emotional betrayal and courage of a woman who violates moral strictures and risks everything to follow her heart. Helen McCrory stars as Anna, along with Kevin McKidd (Trainspotting) as Count Vronsky, the handsome object of her desires; and Tony Award-winner Stephen Dillane (The Real Thing) as Alexei Karenin, Anna's callously principled husband.Art House & International DVD Video
