Coming soon to theaters, the umpteenth big-screen adaptation of LEO TOLSTOY’S classic romantic tragedy ANNA KARENINA was a real crowd-pleaser when it played at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Directed by JOE WRIGHT and starring KEIRA KNIGHTLEY, JUDE LAW, AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON and KELLY MacDONALD, the film’s unique delivery is reminiscent of the best excesses of KEN RUSSELL and BAZ LUHRMAN. Thought by some to be a bit too “artistic” for mainstream audiences, director WRIGHT explained during our recent interview that audiences often don’t get the credit they deserve.
