  • Academy Award® nominee Keira Knightley, Academy Award® nominee Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson dazzle in this stunning new vision of Leo Tolstoy’s epic love story. At the twilight of an empire, Anna Karenina (Knightley), the beautiful high-ranking wife of one of imperial Russia’s most esteemed men (Law), has it all. But when she meets the dashing cavalry officer Vronsky (Taylor-Johnson), there is a mutual spark of instant attraction that cannot be ignored. She’s immediately swept up in a passionate affair that will shock a nation and change the lives of everyone around her. From acclaimed director Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and Academy Award®-winning writer Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) comes this visually enchanting masterpiece hailed by critics as “ecstatic” (Time), “rapturous” (MSN Movies) and “a spectacle that has to be seen to be believed!” (The Huffington Post)

    I love the detail of Kitty's partners changing 10+ times during that waltz, so without them saying it they told us Anna and Vronsky dances just with each other a looong time, entire evening, so it makes eence why people react to them noticing they keep dancing without switching partners. Beautifully executived detail.

      @@Lennyman Yes I think it was pretty standard for there to be professional dance partners hired for European balls and parties at that time. Hostesses were usually not able to balance the number of men and women at these parties (and plenty of the noblemen who weren't interested in wife hunting also didn't feel like dancing much) so she could do it by hiring "professionals" from poorer noble houses. These men were gentlemen, could dance well and hold a good conversation but most importantly they didn't flirt with the young ladies. They were there to start the dancing and make sure everyone had a good time. They could be relied upon to make sure the young ladies had fun but not be a rival for any heiresses.

Would someone Anna's age really kill herself because she wasn't able to keep a man's attention 100% on herself? She had looks, she had money. Why not ditch Vronsky and go back to Italy? And why were they so completely unable to make friends there? A good looking couple, foreign, with money! that just doesn't seem right. Open. salon. You don't have to paint yourself.

    I love everything about this scene - the stolen glances between Anna and Vronsky while he is up on the gantry, the look of utter elation that flashes across her face when he is suddenly behind her. And then that dance, time stops around them, they may as well be the only two people left on the planet, everyone else just falls away.
    Then.. BAM! We are back in reality, and as Anna and Vronsky continue plummeting downwards in their isolated captivation with each other, Kitty becomes more and more nervous, anxious, furious. It's good because her fury really tells us how wrong their behavior really is, we can understand the severity of it through her eyes. And then.... of course, Anna comes back to reality too, realises what they have done, walks away, sees herself in the mirror. The train, foreshadowed, coming to get her. That dance was the beginning of the end for her.
    Not just the end of her life, but also her sanity.

    In the book there's a scene where Kitty and Anna talk at a gathering before the ball, and Kitty is getting a powdery pink dress. She tells Anna to wear purple, and it struck me as if Kitty wanted to match Anna at the ball, an innocent desire. When Anna decides to wear black velvet, it's clear she's up to something.

Kitty was the classical hyper sensitive kinda silly young girl while her companion Varenka was a very efficient and wise woman
      Anna was logical at first and slowly derailed because she couldn't stand society's pressure. Her sister in law began from a frightened woman who would collapse at the news of her husband flirting and she in the end turned into a compassionate woman that was willing go go against society to offer some support to Anna.

    The symmetry between the men and women in the partner dance is refreshing. We’re used to the man taking the lead while the woman follows but this is a perfect representation of how yin and yang is meant to work together to create a flourishing partnership as equals. It even drives the symbolism further that Anna is in Black and Vronsky is in white, like Yin Yang. What a relieving breath of fresh air.

Poor Kitty looks so anxious in this scene and the way the music and dancing play out it's very haunting.

      Is this film true to the book? No. The story in the book is darker, more oppressive.
      Does this film stand alone in its beauty and poignancy? Absolutely!
      and maybe, just maybe, the film has encouraged some viewers to read the book and see that the two can coexist and be appreciated on their own merit

    Just add behind the scenes video please, love this film so much, the ball scene was incredible and the best on cinematography for me for it's intensity, choreography, passion. After this film I discovered ATJ and watch every his movie , the cast is the best, just the way ATJ looks I think he could look as in the book, he is so handsome and charming with his natural hair he would look more mature.
