Title: Rooting for the train
Review: This movie is one of the two 'must avoid' Annas. I think Sophie Marceau is wonderful, but not in this movie. Either she just did not 'get' Anna, or the director didn't; either way, the movie reduces to nothing more than a beautiful woman walking thru various scenes. [As was the version with Jaqueline Bisset].The two great Annas are first, Garbo's (a straight take on the novel, less a romance and more a movie of social mores and the injustice of the divorce laws that was Tolstoy's focus). The second was with Vivian Leigh, done as a deeply romantic tragedy, and much the twin of her equally brilliant, equally tragic, and often overlooked 'Waterloo Bridge'.I own and cherish these three films; buy them ! I've rented and been appalled at the other two.
