Words and emotions that arise when you think about the musical “Anna Karenina”? Beautiful, strong, touching!
Tell me about the story? He has long been known, more than once this book was filmed, performances and ballet productions were staged on Anna Karenina.
Emotional and lively, any movement of the performers, every step of the dancers on the stage is calibrated to perfection. You know, coming out of the theater, I was impressed for a long time. As if we were covered by a tropical night butterfly, and then we came to light.
The story we see is not simple, but quite ordinary. Questions of choice, love is many-faced and beautiful, passion and hatred.
But if I, being in the theater, see all the action only from my place, then the “staging” in the cinema can be seen from different sides, sometimes there was a feeling that I was very close to the performers – almost on stage. Clearness of the picture, good angles, proximity to the game.
Ekaterina Guseva – what could I say about her as an actress or singer, if I almost never watched films and TV series with her participation? I was struck by feelings, penetration into the soul, understanding of her heroine. When Anna Karenina sings a lullaby to her son, she just got to tears. I mean, a big compliment, I didn't know her game! Just beautiful, no words... Her costumes - symbolic reflected the inner state of the heroine - dark tones (captive), light - when she publicly acknowledges her love for Vronsky, a gentle floral "sic" in the countryside, a bloody scarlet color at the very end.
Oh, those gorgeous dresses! What can I say, you just need to see Ekaterina Guseva and Natalia Bystrov on the screen.
Natalia Bystrova as Kitty Shcherbatskaya - the very tenderness, the embodiment of innocent first love.
I am guided by my own impression, but I would like to know the opinion of people who have seen other compositions of performers, but I think maybe who will lay out a review.
The disturbing motif - the violent movement of the train - is felt throughout the action, like a tribute to the book itself. And encouraged, "directed" all the action manager - just inimitable Maxim Zausalin.
When I wrote a review of “Cunning and Love”, I said that for quite a long time I periodically go to productions in the format of the Theatre in Cinema, and only recently began to show Russian performances, not only within the framework of TheatreHD. Those who can not go to a real theater, have the opportunity to see stunning performances, classical ballet productions, opera art in cinema.
I want to note that I am not a special lover of musicals or classical Russian literature, but the truth is, Anna Karenina is worth seeing for everyone who loves high-quality art in a high harmonious performance.
