English Summary:

Anna Karenina is a 2012 British historical romantic drama film directed by Joe Wright. Adapted by Tom Stoppard from Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel of the same name and a remake of the 1985 film of the same name, the film depicts the tragedy of Russian aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina, wife of senior statesman Alexei Karenin, and her affair with the affluent officer Count Vronsky which leads to her ultimate demise. Keira Knightley stars in the lead role as Karenina, marking her third collaboration with Wright following both Pride & Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007), while Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson appear as Karenin and Vronsky, respectively. Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Domhnall Gleeson and Alicia Vikander appear in key supporting roles.

In 1874, Russian Empire, Prince Stephan "Stiva" Oblonsky's wife, Princess Darya "Dolly," banishes her unfaithful husband. Stiva's sister, Anna Karenina, a socialite in St. Petersburg with her older husband, Count Alexei Karenin, and son, Sergei "Seryozha" Alexeyich Karenin, travels to Moscow to persuade Dolly to forgive.

Stiva meets old friend Konstantin Levin, a landowning aristocrat despised by Moscow's elite for preferring country to city life. Levin says he loves Stiva's sister-in-law, Princess Ekaterina "Kitty" Alexandrovna, and Stiva encourages him to propose. Kitty declines as she hopes to marry Count Alexei Vronsky, a wealthy officer. Levin meets his elder brother, Nikolai, who has reonunced his inheritance and married Masha, a prostitute. Nikolai suggests Levin marry a peasant. On the train, Anna meets Vronsky's mother, Countess Vronskaya, isolated by her own infidelity. Arriving, Anna meets Vronsky and they are attracted. After a worker dies in an accident, Anna asks for help for his family. Vronsky gives money for this. Anna convinces Dolly to take Stiva back. At a ball, Kitty attempts to dance with Vronsky, but he prefers Anna, upsetting Kitty. Vronsky tells Anna he must be wherever she goes.

Ám Anna egy nap bátyja, Oblonsky kérésére Moszkvába utazik, hogy segítsen megmenteni annak zátonyra futó házasságát. Moszkvában összetalálkozik Vronsky-val, a fess huszártiszttel, akivel azonnal heves vonzalmat éreznek egymás iránt, noha Vronsky épp Oblonsky sógornőjének, Kittynek csapja a szelet.
