Leo Tolstoy’s classic tale of illicit love and a woman’s struggle against the forces that condemn her to tragedy has inspired film-makers from the very first days of cinema.* Fascination with the novel acclaimed as the best ever written continues with the 2012 release of Working Title/Canal Studio’s Anna Karenina, starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law. Joe Wright’s direction of Tom Stoppard’s screenplay follows a path trodden by myriad other adaptations, filmed on four continents and featuring some of the greatest names in movie history.* Stars of the magnitude of Greta Garbo, Vivien Leigh, Sean Connery and Christopher Reeve have brought Tolstoy’s vividly drawn characters Anna and Vronsky to electrifying life on the screen. * This Classics on Camera edition of Anna Karenina features a preface detailing the fascinating history of adaptations of the novel for the screen. From the earliest silent productions to the mega-budget blockbusters of today, we meet the actors, directors, writers who have toiled to dazzle film fans just as Tolstoy continues to enthral readers.
Reviews
I already have a copy of the AK text and was looking for a comprehensive film adaptation text. Not only was this text only available online, but the few pages actually dedicated to the AK films covered information you could find for free on IMDB. All around, there's zero need to invest in this text.
