Title: Pretty bad
Review: This adaptation of Tolstoy's classic novel gets off to a bad start with a laughably ludicrous dream sequence and never recovers. I haven't read "Anna," but I have read "War and Peace," so I know that the strength of Tolstoy's writing is in his tremendous intellect and great insight into human character and motivation, not the events of his stories, which taken by themselves are the stuff of melodrama. That's what we get here: a bloodless soap opera full of incident and character that I could not bring myself to care about.
