Movie Reviews of We Live AgainMovie Review: Tolstoy's "Resurrection" brought to film Summary: 5 Stars
This remarkable film directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring the vastly underrated Anna Sten and the stellar Frederick March, is based upon Leo Tolstoy's unforgettable novel, Resurrection. The themes in this story revolve around the struggles that have plagued but ultimately elevated humanity since the beginning of time: how we may self-justify our own errors, blind spots and prejudices; the ability to self-reflect, modify our behavior, and hold ourselves accountable for our actions; to experience the transformative effects of remorse, apology and redemption; and the conditions under which we forgive. Of special note are the scenes illustrating the Russian Orthodox Easter liturgy, which are aesthetically, culturally, and spritually transporting.

Summary of We Live AgainBased on the classic novel by Leo Tolstoy, this "compellingly beautiful" (The Hollywood Reporter) love story stars Anna Sten in "an outstanding performance" (The Film Daily) and two-time OscarĀ(r) winner* Fredric March. Filled with tenderness, deep pathos and tragedy, We Live Again is a "visually and dramatically stirring" (The New York Times) film. When Dmitri (March) returns from military service, he finds his childhood sweetheart Katusha (Sten) has grown into a beautiful and desirable woman. But he's a royal prince and she's a lowly peasant. Andin Czarist Russia, such a romance is not just condemned it is strictly forbidden! *1946: Actor, The Best Years of Our Lives; 1931: Actor, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
