Anna Karenina by Joe Wright (2012)




Musical stage is the main background for the movie, and trying to present how musicals would present their story on a single stage. Because it is still a film, so the space of staging is using more than just the regular stages we see in concerts. The traditional audience seating area, the back stage and even the sealing were also used as part of the film.

Many of the switching frames are change by having actors turning circles with camera following with their turning, in the mean time having other actors change the background stage. It is so calculated that the changes are also part of the story that we need to see the transfer of space to know being in the different part of the story. There are also many direct cuts from one to another, but because of the brilliance of dancing while switching the seen, those did not stand out for me.

The screen is so beautifully present, there is no way I could have complete see everything, so planning to go back and see it again!
