Anna Karenina (Russian: Анна Каренина) was a 1911[2] Russian short film directed by Maurice Maître.[3][4]

The film was based on the 1878 novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.

Countess Anna Karenina vacillates between her lover, Vronsky, and her husband, Count Karenin. Anna's love for Vronsky causes her great pain and social pressure.
