Joe Wright’s ANNA KARENINA Starring Keira Knightley Official Synopsis

Joe Wright is a man responsible for titles like Pride & Prejudice and Atonement and a director who obviously has some kind of crush on Keira Knightley. Why? Well, because his upcoming Anna Karenina movie marks their third collaboration! At this moment Anna Karenina still has no USA release date but at least we have an official synopsis part to share with you! So, we're all familiar with the epic love story Anna Karenina adapted from Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, right? Only, this time, thanks to screenwriter Tom Stoppard, we have the story which 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. Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, Matthew Macfadyen, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Emily Watson, Olivia Williams and Ruth Wilson also star in Anna Karenina.
