The 2012 movie based on the classic novel by Leo Tolstoy
The film is the third partnership of Knightley and director Joe Wright, who previously helmed the actress in Atonement and Pride & Prejudice.
In taking on Tolstoy’s book, Wright tells the story of Knightley’s Karenina, a late-19th-century Russian aristocrat married to one of Russia’s most esteemed men (Jude Law, Sherlock Holmes). Karenina feels an immediate spark when she meets cavalry officer Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Savages) and the two begin a passionate affair that shocks the nation.
Written by acclaimed screenwriter Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love), Anna Karenina got mixed reviews when it was in theaters, where it ran on a limited number of screens. The R-rated period film, which also stars Kelly Macdonald (The Decoy Bride) and Matthew Macfadyen (The Three Musketeers), grossed $11 million.
Critics did agree, however, that the movie was lush and picturesque, so it should look gorgeous on high-definition Blu-ray.
