Anna Karenina (Russian: Анна Каренина) is a 1975 Soviet film directed by Margarita Pilikhina. It was first shown at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival where it premiered out of competition.[1]
The film is a Bolshoi Ballet version of Leo Tolstoy's 1878 novel Anna Karenina with choreography by Maya Plisetskaya who also took on the title role.[2]
Count Vronsky (Alexander Godunov) spots Anna Karenina (Maya Plisetskaya) waiting at a train station. He is immediately taken with her. When the two meet again they cannot deny their attraction and dance passionately together.
