This is an intelligent, original rendering of a well-known Tolstoy story and it is far-removed from the Greta Garbo straight forward version of the 30s. And that's a good thing. It reminds one of the expression," all the world's a stage."; the viewer is given that impression, that he is looking at scenes presented on a stage or above the stage. There is too much detail to recount here, but it must be said that Ms. Knightly is a luminous Anna. The movie is a visual feast with incomparable photography, costumes and production design. Scene transitions are ingenious. Yes, the film is very arty but in a unique and operatic fashion.
