Anna Karenina

Based on Leo Tolstoy’s unforgettable classic, the film brings the greatest love novel in world literature to the big screen.

The lovers surrender to the whirlwinds of passion, but their happiness soon turns into a tragedy. The story is also a description of tsarist Russia in the 1870s and the state society, which shackles the participants of the triangle drama in its framework. The film was directed by Joe Wright.
