Joe Wright's 'Anna Karenina' Shot On A Single... →
Inspired by his idea that the book is “about the search for the authentic life,” the film will see the world of Anna, her husband Karenin and her lover Count Vronsky intrude on this theatrical setting, with full-size trains running through one moment and the “stage” converted into an ice rink the next. Other rooms will connect directly to the theater, while toy trains and...
