Posted on June 20, 2012

Tom Stoppard adapted the screenplay for the Focus Film's version of the classic Leo Tolstoy novel, Anna Karenina. Joe Wright (Atonement) directs. Keira Knightley plays Anna.

The film also stars Aaron Johnson as Count Vronsky, Jude Law as Alexei Karenin, Matthew Macfadyen as Oblonsky, Kelly Macdonald as Dolly, Ruth Wilson as Princess Betsy, Olivia Williams as Countess Vronskaya, and Emily Watson as Countess Lydia.

The cinematography looks beautiful. Will Stoppard deliver the goods? This is not an easy novel to adapt to the screen. Take a look:
