i haven't seen it, but i don't remember *a single* good production of classic russian novels done by westerners. they always fuck up everything! maybe it's some sort of conspiracy of russian tv stations to discredit your movie industry, i don't know, but i don't remember seeing a single one that wasn't laughable. and it's not about classic literature only, take "red heat" for example. these movies have nothing to do with russia, really. so i suggest you watch some russian productions, if you're interested, and [if possible] with subtitles
Anna Karenina starring Vivien Lee is a very interesting film, though. I was very much surprised to see a serious, true to form, and not in the tiny bit laughable "russian classic novel movie". They exist, you just haven't run across one yet.
