movie fragmented,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leo Tolstoys Anna Karenina (DVD)
I have to say that this is a movie I have enjoyed in the past in it's full version so I thought that this is what I was going to receive when I purchased itMany parts of this movie were cut off and the story line became fragmented I suspect that this movie has been compromised in the editing Otherwise, I would have rated it a 5 star!! ANY chance you can send me another one in replacement to see if the new one is complete? thank you Silvia

A lavish production,
By Joe E. Byerly - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A lavish production; if you enjoy period films, this one is a pleaser. The ball in Moscow is especially well done; waltzing beautifully choreographed within grandiose setting. Well cast and acted; Sean Bean is surprisingly good as Veronsky, and Sophie Marceau's interpretation of Anna works. Only wish the film were longer and could have been more detailed re the Kitty/Levin relationship.

The BEST DRESSED version of Anna Karenina,
By Carolyn Richardson - Published on Amazon.com
Anna Karenina is a very tragic story of unfulfilled love, and Sophie Marceau pulls off the roll fabulously. She's the perfect age for a young and beautiful Anna, married to an aged Karenin. Sean Penn is a great Vronsky, although I still think Chris Reeves was a more attractive Count Vronsky although I don't care for the movie version he starred in. But this version of Anna Karenina is a must have for anyone in love with historical costume, particularly any fan of the cuirass bodice style of the mid to late 1870s version of the bustle dress era. I don't recall who did the costuming, but they should have received an Oscar. Everything that both Anna and Princess Kitty wore on screen is to die for, from Anna's black ball gown and Kitty's yellow one, to the black and white "race day" dress. In fact, all the women's clothing in the movie looks impeccable from start to finish. I want to make every dress in this movie. My only question is why do we have to rely on the import market to get this on DVD?? My version is Chinese (Hong Kong) and while it's great quality, the subtitles that I know were in the VHS version are missing here, which undercuts your understanding of a crucial scene between Kitty and Levin in the second half of the movie. What is Warner Bros. problem?

Simply Too Abbreviated,
By Darlene Hills "possumdog7" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leo Tolstoys Anna Karenina (DVD)
I was dissappointed by this "short" production of "Anna Karenina". I carried "Anna Karenina" around like a bible when I was a lass and its still my favorite novel so this abbreviated movie version was not satisfying for me. I spent most of the time while viewing this movie trying to sort in my mind everything that had been left out. Face it, its not possible to do justice to "Anna Karenina" in two hours. Betsy was barely a character and where was sweet Dolly??? I loved the Russian "look" of the female lead Sophie Marceau as Anna but handsome Sean Bean just didn't get it as Vronsky for me. Vronsky will always be dark and swarthy in my world. And where were the passionate sex scenes? They got naked in one scene and the next Anna is pregnant. That wasn't any fun! The PBS Masterpiece Theatre version, Anna Karenina (2000), is the most faithful treatment of this masterpiece I've seen on film. Anna's foreboding dreams of doom or opiate delusions, depending on how you interpret them, were never addressed well in this reviewed version either. Even the scenery looked much too warm and sunny to be in Russia, the costuming lacked authentic detail, and the ponies looked like spindly English thoroughbreds and not the punched-up, sturdy Russian stock you'd expect to see pulling sleds in the snow. Tolstoy's opulent tapestry of character's lives, loves, and deaths in aristocratic Russia never has the time or places to be properly woven into the masterpiece "Anna Karenina" is in this version.
