Movie Reviews of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina [Import]Movie Review: The BEST DRESSED version of Anna Karenina Summary: 5 Stars
Anna Karenina is a very tragic story of unfulfilled love, and Sophie Marceau pulls off the roll fabulously. She's the perfect age for a young and beautiful Anna, married to an aged Karenin. Sean Penn is a great Vronsky, although I still think Chris Reeves was a more attractive Count Vronsky although I don't care for the movie version he starred in. But this version of Anna Karenina is a must have for anyone in love with historical costume, particularly any fan of the cuirass bodice style of the mid to late 1870s version of the bustle dress era. I don't recall who did the costuming, but they should have received an Oscar. Everything that both Anna and Princess Kitty wore on screen is to die for, from Anna's black ball gown and Kitty's yellow one, to the black and white "race day" dress. In fact, all the women's clothing in the movie looks impeccable from start to finish. I want to make every dress in this movie. My only question is why do we have to rely on the import market to get this on DVD?? My version is Chinese (Hong Kong) and while it's great quality, the subtitles that I know were in the VHS version are missing here, which undercuts your understanding of a crucial scene between Kitty and Levin in the second half of the movie. What is Warner Bros. problem?
