The second part of the Book to Screen series starts with “Anna Karenina” based on Leon Tolstoy’s powerful novel of moral and social examination of the 19th century Russian high-society. It follows the aristocrat Anna Karenina as she enters into a life-changing love affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The 2012 adaptation by Tom Stoppard is set in a fantasy theatre world, starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law – and is a refreshing representation of this classic novel about forbidden love and hypocrisy of the high society at the time. Steven Hunt will lead a discussion after the screening.
