This subtle, Garbo-forward trailer for the film which clocks in at an impressively condensed 95 minutes is well worth a watch. Android Karenina , Ben Winters The Class IIIs, for example, also act as telling externalizations of their masters: cold, duty-bound Karenin becomes half-robot and childish Kitty gets a pink, mechanized ballerina companion.

Anna meets the cavalry officer Count Vronsky at the train station and they feel attracted by each other. Jun 23, AM. Amalie, thanks for your reply. Sorry I missed the reference to Aaron Johnson - I don't know anything about him either; if he's a young actor as Antia suggests, he might be a bit hard to swallow as Vronsky. I've always imagined Anna and Vronsky to be around their late 30s! I think the Dr Zhivago version I saw was a British television production - it was pretty awful generally and was panned by the critics.
I really enjoyed the older film version, even though it might not have entirely caught the spirit of the book. Best wishes Mary NB that's my real name which seems more appropriate for discussion than Morticia! Aug 23, AM. I watched the BBC ?? Anna Karenina recently. I thought the actress was too old for the role. I liked Sophie Marceau's version better but I don't mind waiting for another better adaption.
As for the one you've talked here with Keira Knightley, I hope it won't be a disaster. Not a fan of Joe Wright's melodrama. Aug 31, PM. Amalie wrote: "Though there is no mention of her age in the novel, I consider her to be in her late 20's, around 27 or Just a personal calculation with the marriageable age of the period and her son's age. Karenina would like be, as suggested, in her mid's. For the record Keira Knightley is When deciding which film is best, I believe you have to first determine what is "best".
The best film based on the story, the most faithful to the original, etc. The version with Greta Garbo is the most critically acclaimed. She also did an earlier silent version.
The Masterpiece TV version also well. TV miniseries sometimes have an advantage in that they can explore the story in more depth and are not limited to the typical minutes or so of cinema versions. The star of the Masterpiece version, Helen McCrory, was 32 when the film was released.
And Garbo was I don't think any of these mentioned actresses are either too young or too old sounds like Gogol's Chichikov , it depends on their skill as actresses and our personal preconception of what Karenina looks like.

I think what most of consider is true to the novel and great performing, at least that was what I was considering.
As for the age, the correct age is a part of a great production, don't you think, so then Keira's age is more suitable but Robert do you personally think Keira Knightley is good enough to be a good Anna?

Does it follow the novel closely or do we just accept that it will borrow a sliver from the story and adapt it for entertainment's sake. With new permutation about to hit the theaters,we need to ask how it stands up against earlier versions. In the interest of giving fair judgement I have begun to watch all that I can get my hands on.
And here is my take so far. The films so far focus on Anna, Karenin and Vronsky. All the other story lines almost disappear except in how they relate to Anna's story. Greta Garbo was quite good, as was Frederick March as Vronsky. The filming locations had a Russian feel to them although I am sure most were done on back lots. Garbo seemed to bring a lot of passion to the role -you felt Dolly's children really like her, and Kitty, too. Vivian Leigh seemed to lack the fire that Garbo exhibited.
This was a pleasant film with a few different twists not seen in the earlier version and the screenplay was written by Jean Anouil, no slouch. A little more of Kitty and Levin, but still just background to Karenina's story. I've got another one coming tomorrow.
I believe it's the one shown on PBS. Since it's four hours long, one would hope it gives a little more time for other elements of the story. Remember there is a whole lot of book left after Anna kills herself, so Anna's exit is not the end of the story as far as Tolstoy is concerned. I've yet to watch the Russian production -only the first 28 minutes.
The film has a November 16 release date with some European cities getting an earlier release date , and will premiere at Toronto in September, with its Oscar prospects unspooling then.
