Russian drama show started yesterday Anna Karenina with Elizaveta Boyarskaya in the title role. This novel by Leo Tolstoy is considered one of the most screened works of Russian literature. In total, there are more than 25 films based on the book. Today we have collected seven of the brightest actresses who tried on the image of Anna Karenina.
Greta Garbo
In the first sound adaptation of Anna Karenina in 1935, the role of the main character went to the "Snow Queen of Hollywood" Grete Garbo … By the way, she already found herself in the place of Karenina in the silent film adaptation of 1927. The second version with the participation of the actress was recognized as the best foreign film at the Venice Film Festival. In general, the image created by Greta Garbo evokes sympathy, but there is not that emotional breakdown that can be traced in the literary image of Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy.
Vivien Leigh
1948 film featuring Vivien Leigh became an alternative for those viewers to whom Greta Garbo's performance seemed too pretentious. The actress added touching and warmth to the image of Karenina. Vivien Leigh even began to study Russian, trying to understand the desires and actions of her heroine.
Tatiana Samoilova
The most recognizable image of Anna Karenina was created not only for the domestic, but also for the foreign audience Tatiana Samoilova in the film adaptation of Alexander Zarkhi in 1967. The director made the film exactly from the book. The first beauties of that time, Elina Bystritskaya, Lyudmila Chursina, Tatyana Doronina, applied for the role of the main character, but Alexander Zarkhi chose Samoilova. Her dark eyes and hair, pale skin fit well into the aristocratic image of Karenina, described by Leo Tolstoy.
After the incredible success of the film "The Cranes Are Flying" at the Cannes Film Festival, where Samoilova played the main role, foreign directors offered the actress to star in the Hollywood version of "Anna Karenina" together with actor Gerard Philippe. But the leaders of the State Committee for Cinematography did not let Samoilova go to the shooting, giving her foreign colleagues ridiculous excuses and arguments.
Jacqueline Bisset
In 1985, another film adaptation of Anna Karenina was released in Hollywood with Jacqueline Bisset starring. The actress looked much older than the literary image. In general, she managed to convey Karenina's aristocratic manners, her stateliness, restraint. As for inner emotional experiences, critics agreed that Karenina-Bisset turned out to be a woman of mystery.
Sophie Marceau
Another Hollywood version of Anna Karenina, directed by Bernard Rose, was released in 1997. Starring was Sophie Marceau … The viewer could not help but be attracted by the created entourage: all the shooting took place in Russia. The action took place against the backdrop of the Hermitage, the Mariinsky Palace and other architectural monuments of the northern capital.
Many critics spoke very flatteringly about Sophie Marceau's performance, despite the fact that the film contains a lot of inconsistencies with Tolstoy's novel. The actress herself later admitted in an interview that she did not quite understand what her heroine felt, who left the child for her lover.
Keira Knightley
In 2012, the British version of "Anna Karenina" was released on the cinema screens with Keira Knightley starring. Thanks to the costumes and impressive sets, the film is beautiful, but too adaptable. The actress also looks modern. If you step back and forget that the film should be based on Tolstoy's novel, then the film can be watched with pleasure.
Elizaveta Boyarskaya
And again the Russian version of Anna Karenina was released. Director Karen Shakhnazarov tried to move away from conventional cliches and show his vision of Leo Tolstoy's novel. Starring Elizaveta Boyarskaya … The film was launched on a Russian TV channel on April 17, 2017. And the audience again had the opportunity to recall the storyline of the novel and, of course, compare the play of the actors.
Anna Karenina is not the only novel by Leo Tolstoy that has been filmed more than once. Many films have also been made based on War and Peace. It is interesting to compare what were the outfits of the main characters in the 1956, 1967 and 2016 film versions of War and Peace.
