Anna Karenina (2013)
The Best I have seen
I loved this adaptation, which I watched over two nights. The casting and acting are, in my view, superb. All the characters seemed so authentic and Vittoria Puccini so believable as Anna. It is an outstanding production and I hope we will see more of this terrific actress. I can't understand why she hasn't already had more international recognition. Even though the voices had been dubbed, if that is the correct expression, it did not impact on the pleasure of watching the performance which again proves how extremely professional this has been put together. The costumes, filming, just about everything was captivating and, like the novel, I was disappointed when it ended.
Romeo and Juliet (1954)
The best Film of Romeo and Juliet ever made.
I saw this film as a child of 10 or ll. I loved it. I was able to see it again a few years ago, thinking that maybe it would not have the same appeal as when I was a child, but I loved it again, only more appreciatively so. The casting was brilliant and modern versions of this film bear no comparison. I do wish I could obtain it on DVD so my grandchildren could watch it. Apart from anything else, it featured the wonderful actors and actresses of that era who deserved to be remembered. It made an impression on a young child and encouraged further interest and research into the works of Shakespeare. This version of the film is, in my opinion the best interpretation of the author's original play.
