This umpteenth adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's tale of the doomed 'Anna Karenina', a married woman whose affair with the dashing and arrogant aristocrat Count Vronsky can only end disastrously, is certainly an unusual mix of choreography and tableaux style posture. Sumptuous images and costumes fill the screen to the background of a lushly romantic soundtrack. Joe Wright's imaginative production is of the style of Baz Lurhmann without the latter's frenetic editing.
I'm not sure if this interpretation is much more than an indulgence but it is a delicious one.
★★★1/2
