  Anna Karenina 2012

  ★★★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  1. maybe one of my favorite visual filmmaking accomplishments ever—the cinematography, costuming, direction, CHOREOGRAPHY, color grading, etc. make me want to fall to my knees its too good 
  2. arguably most frustrating concluding half hour of all time, had to take a lap, literally what are we doing 
  3. i think that this movie and marie antoinette (2006) would be best friends

  i love this movie so fucking bad
  i think there’s something so enthralling about the intentionality of all of the details within this film and it took a rewatch for me to recognize all of the film's strengths, especially in its editing—for example, i love the overcompensation of blue tones in the color grading when something red is the primary subject (typically used to encapsulate the luxurious and enticing but cold presence of vanya in anis life via the bedding or the scarf)
