Focus Features will be releasing Anna Karenina, directed by Joe Wright (Hanna, Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and based on the classic Leo Tolstoy novel, on November 9, 2012 – in the heart of the “Oscar consideration” season. Starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, and Matthew Macfadyen, Anna Karenina was adapted for the screen by Shakespeare in Love‘s Tom Stoppard.
The Plot:
The story unfolds in its original late-19th-century Russia high-society setting and powerfully explores the capacity for love that surges through the human heart, from the passion between adulterers to the bond between a mother and her children. As Anna (Knightley) questions her happiness, change comes to her family, friends, and community.
