Anna Karenina is a story that has seen countless retellings in various art forms, but Joe Wright’s unique adaptation starring Keira Knightley has chosen to revamp, respin, and revolutionize the story by setting it inside of a voyeuristic bubble of theatricality. In an interview with Hypable, director Joe Wright and star Keira Knightley explore this decision and discuss the general madness that is Anna Karenina.
