Captivating!

msparker62

This is an excellent rendition of a very complex book.  Beautifully shot & exquisitely acted, the spirit of the book for once remains in tact when making the transition to film.  Had this film been made in Hollywood, I've no doubt that Anna would have lived & Vronsky would have married her right before they rode off into the sunset together.  As it is, the story is well written.  I especially love Alfred Molina in the role of Levin, the protagonist, but the entire cast is just wonderful.  This is a film I watch over & over, mesmerized by the story and the artistry of the film itself.

score 9/10
