Do we really need another adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel Anna Karenina? Well, if one considers Joe Wright's particularly elegant version of Pride & Prejudice, and his masterful direction of Atonement, the answer may as well be yes. This is actually his third collaboration with Keira Knightley, while the film also features Jude Law as Alexei Karenin, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Count Vronski, and Domhnall Gleeson as Konstantin Levin.
Anna Karenina is a considerably difficult novel to adapt, divided as it is between two parallel stories. On the one hand, there is Anna's passion for Vronski and the dissolution of her marriage, and on the other Levin's effort to marry and start a family; the narrative shifts between these two angles while focusing on love and tragedy, as well as on social norms and the exercise of social control. It will thus be interesting to see how the award-winning playwriter Tom Stoppard has approached the novel in his screenplay. For now, what we have is a visually stunning trailer, featuring music by Dario Marianelli, the award-winning composer who has had a long-term collaboration with Joe Wright.
