The trailer truly does speak for itself, it is stunningly audacious and elegant. Anna Karenina is yet another Wright-Knightley union, just to give you some context, the two previous unions were beloved masterpieces Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007). Yes, this is another period-drama done WRIGHT! I know, terrible joke.
I love period-dramas. Aside from the wonderful cinematography and flawless costumes, they are epic love stories that allure us with grand confrontations, and compel us with quietly heartbreaking moments. Beyond the stage theatrics, this trailer promises a heartfelt and heart-wrenching story. Plus, this film is penned by the brilliant Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare In Love), so it won't be short on wit and charisma.
Though, I have to admit, this film's greatest asset (for moi) is Keira Knightley. She is without a doubt, the duchess of period dramas. For some strange reason, the Academy loves to snub her, it still baffles me that she was not nominated for A Dangerous Method, psychotic roles always get nominations. Then again, she was cured by the denouement. Point is, this film definitely tops my current MUST SEE list.
P.S. Hope you adore the trailer.
Now I feel like watching the Duchess for the millionth time, so expect a review. Love y'all.
WOW that trailer was freaking MAJESTIC. Ok, no more delaying reading the book... my Dad recommends it every so often. Thanks for sharing, Eric :D
