ANNA KARENINA - 3 stars
Joe Wright’s lovely adaptation of the Tolstoy opus stars the filmmaker's "Pride & Prejudice" and “Atonement muse", Keira Knightley, as the Russian princess who tumbles into a passionate affair, jeopardizing her marriage and social standing. Shot in a theater — not just on its stage, but in the grand hall’s every nook and cranny — this is an interpretation full of deliberate artifice, all the better to let the real emotions burst through. 2 hrs. 10 R (sex, violence, adult themes)
