Just in time for Valentine's Day weekend comes the film that the Huffington Post calls "the best love story seen on film in years!" Anna Karenina
A limited number of reserved advanced tickets (four rows in the best seating section) are availalbe for the Thursday, February 14th screening only - plus a special $3 add-on for a glass of Champagne or Sparkling Cider!
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 questions her happiness, change comes to her family, friends, and community.
Director: Joe Wright
Starring: Aaron Johnson, Jude Law, Keira Knightley, Matthew MacFadyen

While Wright's self-conscious theatricality and dollhouse aesthetic conjure comparisons to Baz Luhrmann and Wes Anderson, he outstrips both those filmmakers in moral seriousness and maturity.

Mr. Wright's Anna Karenina is different. It is risky and ambitious enough to count as an act of artistic hubris, and confident enough to triumph on its own slightly - wonderfully - crazy terms.

The result is a masterpiece of moving pieces, a dizzying and obscenely beautiful film that boils down Tolstoy's text to its most basic elements by making literal the theater of high society.

The story has been filmed many times, but never with this kind of erotic charge. Knightley is glorious, her eyes blazing with a carnal yearning that can turn vindictive at any perceived slight.

Whatever the interpretation, Stoppard and Wright have demonstrated that Anna's saga has lost none of its power.

Wright's extraordinary long takes draw you into the universe of Anna Karenina with a seamless approach that a straightforward literary adaptation could never accomplish.
