You think about the protagonists and their choices you root for happy endings. I read the novel as you might read any novel about marriage and adultery. I was twenty-three, and thinking of getting married to me, it was obvious that the novel was about love, good and bad, wise and unwise. When I first started reading “Anna Karenina,” ten years ago-I’m obsessed with the book, and have read it seven times since then-I, too, thought of it as a love story. If anything, “Anna Karenina” is a warning against the myth and cult of love. The film, as Wright promised, is all about love, but Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” isn’t a love story. The problem, I think, is that it’s too romantic. Still-if you know and love the novel, something about the movie just doesn’t feel right. Knightley plays Anna with an edgy sensuality Vronsky’s steeplechase is vivid and terrifying the Levin and Kitty story is sweet, patient, and even spiritual. The sets are inventive and metafictional.

Wright’s “Anna Karenina” isn’t a straight-forward adaptation of the novel, but a fanciful, expressionistic reinterpretation of it, with a knowing, self-conscious screenplay by Tom Stoppard.
