Details: Product Description The third collaboration of Academy Award® nominee Keira Knightley with acclaimed director Joe Wright, following the award-winning box office successes Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, is a bold, theatrical new vision of the epic story of love, adapted from Leo Tolstoy’s timeless novel by Academy Award® winner Tom Stoppard ( Shakespeare in Love). The story powerfully explores the capacity for love that surges through the human heart. As Anna (Ms. Knightley) questions her happiness and marriage, change comes to all around her. -------- Anna Karénine, une histoire d’amour épique adaptée du roman classique de Léon Tolstoï par Tom Stoppard (gagnant d’un Oscar® pour Shakespeare in Love), est la troisième collaboration entre Keira Knightley (nominée pour un Oscar®) et le réalisateur Joe Wright, suite aux films Pride & Prejudice et Atonement, deux chefs-d’œuvre ayant récolté les honneurs et de francs succès au box-office. L’histoire se situe dans son cadre original, celui de la haute société russe de la fin du 19ème siècle et explore la capacité surprenante du cœur humain à aimer, de la passion entre deux amants coupables d’adultère, au lien inextricable qui unit une mère à ses enfants. Alors qu’Anna (Keira Knightley) se questionne sur son propre bonheur, un vent de changement souffle sur sa famille, ses amis et toute sa communauté. Amazon.ca By filming Leo Tolstoy's timeless novel as a series of theater pieces that play out across stages and catwalks, Joe Wright extracts Anna Karenina from the dusty pages of history. In her third collaboration with the filmmaker, Keira Knightley portrays the St. Petersburg aristocrat as a woman who loves her son, Sergei, more than her husband, Alexei Karenin (Jude Law). On a trip to Moscow, she meets Count Vronsky (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), whose Snidely Whiplash mustache spells trouble, even as his sky-blue eyes prove impossible to resist. Wright contrasts their passionate union with the less cataclysmic concerns of Anna's sister-in-law, Dolly ( Boardwalk Empire's Kelly Macdonald), whose capacity for forgiveness puts Alexei to shame, and Levin ( Harry Potter's Domhnall Gleeson), who never gives up on Dolly's sister, Kitty (Alicia Vikander), even after she rejects him in hopes of a more glamorous future. When the affair between Anna and Vronsky becomes public, Tolstoy's antiheroine risks losing everything, but as readers know: she just can't help herself. Though Shakespeare in Love screenwriter Tom Stoppard ties together a colorful galaxy of characters who orbit around the photogenic central couple, the secondary performers provide the more deeply grounded performances, particularly Law and Gleeson. And for all the stylized, Douglas Sirk-inspired melodrama, Knightley's Pride & Prejudice costar, Matthew Macfadyen, who plays Dolly's wayward husband, lightens the mood whenever he utters one of his clever quips. If it isn't completely successful, Wright's reinvention is frequently quite dazzling--much like the genuine Chanel diamonds that illuminate Knightley's porcelain complexion. --Kathleen C.
