Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod - I love Anna Karenina. This novel was a huge part of why I took Russian in college (and got my butt kicked by it daily, but it was worth it). This and Dr. Zhivago. Yes, the book is intimidating in length, but the style is totally approachable...once you get used to the names. Anyway. I'm so excited to see what you think! (And thank you Ben Gilbert!) P.S. Dune is also an excellent choice for reads :)

I’m so glad you guys enjoyed this one! And yes, the play structure/visuals are a brilliant choice. Not only is it absolutely stunning to look at, but metaphorically on point — in high society, especially then, everything is a performance. One must appear a certain way. Those are “the rules.” And then as the story goes on, we see just how fragile that facade that is. You’re not wrong - Anna is difficult to like. But she’s undeniably tragic; she gets caught up in a toxic affair and it destroys her. Also, as to your question about ‘why did Stiva get away with his affairs and Anna didn’t’/“Maybe because he’s a man.” Yep, that’s it. I hate to disappoint, but it really was that simple. And yes, the Levin/Kitty storyline was the perfect counterweight to the Anna/Vronsky story. In the novel, Kostya was always my favorite. The proposal via letter blocks is so darling. Although there are times he can be quite frustrating… There was a moment about 500 pages in (so, halfway) where I remember saying - out loud to an empty room - “D***it, Levin, if you chicken out now, I swear to God, I will tear this book in half.” Lol.

Most adaptations give short shift to the Levin storyline. I'm glad this one didn't. The other films tend to present Anna as some divine figure of romance but she isn't meant to be. I like the Greta Garbo version but this one is better.

Oh I love this film!! So happy you are doing it. The book is wonderful indeed.

Moving from the train to the clerks stamping papers in unison my mind went to straight to The Music Man and the "Rock Island" number that opens the play.

I probably still don't have time to watch this again for a while but I remember it being an ambitious, but very strange adaptation. The play elements are visually very cool but I thought they hurt thematically more than they helped, and of course you're going to have cut so much to adapt such a long novel into a 2 hour movie but it insanely speedruns the last third, maybe even half the book. I remember being so confused when it ended.

Mariska Costeris

The way the sound of the train and even more eerie: the sound of the men clearing the ice from the wheels of the train by hitting then with steel bars, is woven through the soundtrack, becoming more frequent as the end nears, is amazing.

This was so fascinating. The pacing of this movie was honestly fantastic

Youtalkingtome

She really isn't and I'm glad that this movie doesn't sugar coat that

I really like this story! But the book was a bit of a slog. My thing is, every few years I get it into my head that i need to read more classic literature, and then i end up hating them 😂 for Anna Karenina, i felt like it could have been half the length lol. I think classic literature is just not my genre. I do audiobooks, so for reference - a typical adult novel is 8-12 hours long. Anna Karenina is about 34 hours. War and Peace is about 72 hours iirc (i borrowed the audiobook from the library, saw the length, and then returned it, bc i have to be realistic)

my work's old location was next to some train tracks, with no barrier. We often would take breaks out there, and my brain would always conjure the image of the ending of the story 😬 I would also like to say that im sure you guys have a ton of shows on your to be watched lists, but ive been loving seeing the period pieces come up on the channel, so i think you'd like Anne With an E on Netflix! My neice made me watch it, and i loved it, despite not having the nostalgia for the books that many others do
