Anna Karenina
"Anna Karenina is a 2012 British romantic drama film directed by Joe Wright and adapted by Tom Stoppard from Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel of the same name. The film depicts the tragedy of married Russian aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky."

"Americans do not understand the Russian soul!" How many times I've heard a similar phrase, and partly I agreed with that, so I was not expecting much from it. I just wanted to look at Wright's historical drama, and of course a new image of Keira Knightley is always interesting. But how wrong I was before watching. How many  new things I found for myself in this film. How this film fascinated me, it's just an indescribable feeling. Everything struck me in this film, accompanied music, masterfully staged performance. A change of scenery has led me to the delight. How cleverly Wright came up with this idea. It is clear that every year he only improves his skills. After seeing all of his works, I was expecting something like that, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. But there is a big minus in this movie, if you haven't read the book first, you won't understand much of it. But if you are familiar with the plot, the viewing of this film is a great way to freshen up your experience.
