I love the detail of Kitty's partners changing 10+ times during that waltz, so without them saying it they told us Anna and Vronsky dances just with each other a looong time, entire evening, so it makes eence why people react to them noticing they keep dancing without switching partners. Beautifully executived detail.
Yes!! I actually counted the dance partners, and you're right, it was at least 10! What makes this such a well executed scene is that, falling in love should be a beautiful dream, and it was for Anna and Vronsky, but from the perspective of Kitty, it was a nightmare.
This is so random but I love how Kitty's first dance partner notices she's distracted and says "where do you want to be taken?" And delivers her there with such grace, it's so endearing! You don't have to be romantically intvested to be charming with someone
@@Lennyman Yes I think it was pretty standard for there to be professional dance partners hired for European balls and parties at that time. Hostesses were usually not able to balance the number of men and women at these parties (and plenty of the noblemen who weren't interested in wife hunting also didn't feel like dancing much) so she could do it by hiring "professionals" from poorer noble houses. These men were gentlemen, could dance well and hold a good conversation but most importantly they didn't flirt with the young ladies. They were there to start the dancing and make sure everyone had a good time. They could be relied upon to make sure the young ladies had fun but not be a rival for any heiresses.
@ayameisastar exactly there was always a man in charge of dancing at the ball. Kitty came without partner and so it was his job to be her first dance and introduce her to the other dancers so to say. When she came he immediately walked up to her after her conversation with Boris, so she wouldn't stand there awkwardly waiting for partners.
I see a subtle parallel between this scene and Swan Lake. The prince is stolen away by the seductive black swan and the white swan is left heartbroken.
Лебеди очень верные птицы, они создают пару на всю жизнь. Экранизация романа ужасная и вульгарная. Нет даже понимания того времени, описанных событий, когда девушка стеснялась даже взглянуть на молодого человека. Скромность и чистота ,были достоинством девушки,женщины Такой вальс просто был невозможен, это недопустимо, такая близость.Это сразу дуэль.Если зритель этим восхищается, это значит ,душевный разврат.

He did the same with pride and prejudice (with Keira as E.Bennet , absolutelly horrific) and there is lots of people who think its a masterpiece. 😖 The only adaptation that he did that I think is ok is Atonement, but for very litle.
gosh the actress for kitty is remarkable. so so talented. every ounce of her emotion and increasing anxiety is evident in her expression yet she doesn’t let that take away from her contradictory beautiful dancing.

@@monikamaciejewska846Wasn't the music done by Dario Marianelli? He did was influenced by Shostakovic and Tchaikovsky tho but he was the once who wrote soundtrack
The way Vronsky looks at her when he approaches Anna is my favorite part. When they both make eye contact....it's just wonderful to me. You can feel the passion between them.
I love everything about this scene - the stolen glances between Anna and Vronsky while he is up on the gantry, the look of utter elation that flashes across her face when he is suddenly behind her. And then that dance, time stops around them, they may as well be the only two people left on the planet, everyone else just falls away. Then.. BAM! We are back in reality, and as Anna and Vronsky continue plummeting downwards in their isolated captivation with each other, Kitty becomes more and more nervous, anxious, furious. It's good because her fury really tells us how wrong their behavior really is, we can understand the severity of it through her eyes. And then.... of course, Anna comes back to reality too, realises what they have done, walks away, sees herself in the mirror. The train, foreshadowed, coming to get her. That dance was the beginning of the end for her. Not just the end of her life, but also her sanity.
А мне в этой сцене ничего не нравится. Пошло. Анна Каренина не соответствует описанию по книге. И не передаёт сототой доли тех чувств, возвышенных, безрассудных, страсных. Даже не приятно. Так опошлить произведение. Простите если кого-то обидела.

It amazes me that this man also plays me Darcy. Where their romantic chemistry was off the charts in pride and prejudice, and yet they exhibit none here
Such an underrated film. I absolutely LOVE the music and how they made it look like it was a stage production. Ive seen this a hundred times and could watch it a hundred more.
Absolutely. The choreography and cinematography all timed to a rhythmically complex musical score, the erotic breathing turned to whispers of gossip, the costumes, all of it. Miraculous. Sexy. Precise. Emotionally devastating.
The choreography is by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, a well-known choreographer. His other choreographies are amazing! Definitely worth it to check some out as well! Like 'I will fall for you' from Woodkid or Aqua or Qutb!
In the book there's a scene where Kitty and Anna talk at a gathering before the ball, and Kitty is getting a powdery pink dress. She tells Anna to wear purple, and it struck me as if Kitty wanted to match Anna at the ball, an innocent desire. When Anna decides to wear black velvet, it's clear she's up to something. I like that they switched Kitty to white; more effective in movie for the dichotomy.
@ymarrero23 come now I thought that was a brilliant observation. I was amazed myself at how sensuously the waltz was portrayed here. Yet I am a big fan of the tango.
The weird touchy flaily arms were a bit much. That's not really a part in normal waltzes, right? I get they were trying to make it artsy and emotional, but was a bit overdone for me.
@@dgriite Its not a lot like a typical waltz, its mote like a ballet performance, and they are not trying to make it artsy. They are trying to make it like a ballet performance. And it works.
@@martineshamzin7535 Doesn't work for me. I understand the wanted to add more movement/emotion/grace to the scene, and a touch of the fluttery arms can be seen in other scenes at well. It's subtler and works. In this scene, it reads a bit like "Slap some russian ballet kind of moves to make the viennese waltz look more 'russian' and angsty" and "make them awkwardly touch each others faces and arms to make it look more sensual".
@@dgriite Well, everyone has different tastes. It was definitely. bold move, and Im sure that means some will love it some will hate it. I have personally never seen anything quite like it.The whole story really isn't very sensible though, if you know what I mean. Would someone Anna's age really kill herself because she wasn't able to keep a man's attention 100% on herself? She had looks, she had money. Why not ditch Vronsky and go back to Italy? And why were they so completely unable to make friends there? A good looking couple, foreign, with money! that just doesn't seem right. Open. salon. You don't have to paint yourself. All I ever get reading the story is that no one would ever really act like that. Its super unrealistic. So why not make it even MORE unrealistic. Doesn't that make sense? Im not trying to convince you, of course. Any opinion is as good as any other in such matters.
I love how they show on kitty how much time has past. Kitty always has a new dance partner, but Anna and Alexai only dance with eachother. It kinda reminds my of cinderella, how they danced all night only with eachother.
The only thing I know about this story is that the book was massively long, and it had one of the highest ever point values on our Accelerated Reading computer program back in elementary school. Everyone in school took the test and failed miserably just to try and get as many points as possible without reading the book. It was epic.
Joe Wright’s idea of staging the story in a Theatre really is ingenious on so many levels, especially in this scene as it perfectly highlights Tolstoy’s goal to expose ‘high society’ for the pantomime that it is and how women like Anna and Kitty are expected to ‘play their part’ and put on a show!
*Anna respesents the black Swan, who steals away the Prince from the white Swan (Kitty). This isn't a Vienna waltz, it's more like a ballet performance*
Это вообще не вальс,это породия. Взгляд извращенного человека на совсем незнакомую культуру царской России. Ни костюмы,ни поведение не показывают красоту и культуру, изысканность,манеры и обязательный этикет.
@@stefaroy3650 к сожалению, вы упустили суть картины. Джо Райт и не пытался реалистично показать царскую Россию, но мастерски исполнил театральное представление по мотивам романа Толстого. Учитесь смотреть глубже
The symmetry between the men and women in the partner dance is refreshing. We’re used to the man taking the lead while the woman follows but this is a perfect representation of how yin and yang is meant to work together to create a flourishing partnership as equals. It even drives the symbolism further that Anna is in Black and Vronsky is in white, like Yin Yang. What a relieving breath of fresh air.
The book is actually an awful bore, and the way Tolstoy writes women would make almost anyone angry. I am certainly no feminist, but he literally thinks women are idiots.
@@martineshamzin7535 no no not true at all, the female characters are as diverse in personality as the male ones are! I was very impressed by the way he wrote the women and understood their plights
@@martineshamzin7535 i think a lot of the problem is that he wrote it in real time. we followed everything the characters did on a regular day. that’s why it seems borish. but i don’t think any of the women in this book were “stupid”. Anna may have been foolish but she knew what she was doing and the other women in the book are portrayed as pure.
@@martineshamzin7535 I disagree. There is a great variety of characters. With the same logic he wrote some of the men being idiots or constant flirts which is not true with every man in the world even in that society. Kitty was the classical hyper sensitive kinda silly young girl while her companion Varenka was a very efficient and wise woman Anna was logical at first and slowly derailed because she couldn't stand society's pressure. Her sister in law began from a frightened woman who would collapse at the news of her husband flirting and she in the end turned into a compassionate woman that was willing go go against society to offer some support to Anna. I would agree that the book became boring at certain points because it got ridiculously long and had many different stories together but I absolutely disagree about your comment about Tolstoy's characters
It's also so interesting because whilst Vronsky and Anna move effortlessly across the room, although Kitty is clearly the best dancer it looks lime she has to work harder with all the other dancers she had to show that she's trying to keep in the loop whilst fighting for Vronsky's affection.
they adapted this part of the book so well omg, I'm actually impressed by how they summarized this well what happened with anna, vronsky and kitty in a single one scene
This is my favorite choreography from any movie. As a dancer and being in so many musicals growing up, dancing with a partner can be awkward or beautiful. I love how Anna and Alexei’s bodies flow so seductively together. It’s like they are making love while dancing. I cry anytime I watch this scene.
@ T. Chester I have seen it a lot but my statement still stands. This is on a whole other level than Dirty Dancing choreography. This is very tight and pristine and not sloppy and loose like Dirty Dancing.
4:16 I love where the whole thing just froze still, and it looks like that only two of them that matters there. It is a true feeling when you're in love
I loved this adaptation. Even though a lot of people said it was way worse than the other Anna Karenina movies, I liked the new approach and the decision to set the action like in a theatre, because that's how it really felt for Anna - being watched and judged by everyone. Brilliant movie.
A story of forbidden love and the undeniable passion that envelopes it. Unbridled passion leading to painful consequences. Great story. The choreography was unique. I found the twirling hand motions odd.
I know this movie is probably not very book accurate, it's definitely on my to-read list, but I do admire this movie on it's own. Poor Kitty looks so anxious in this scene and the way the music and dancing play out it's very haunting. I sometimes watch this film when I just need something playing in the background that is lovely and for me very easy to watch again and again
I read the book in its original language several times. I have a BA in Russian Language & Literature. Is this film true to the book? No. The story in the book is darker, more oppressive. Does this film stand alone in its beauty and poignancy? Absolutely! and maybe, just maybe, the film has encouraged some viewers to read the book and see that the two can coexist and be appreciated on their own merit
Someone from West can not , absolutely can not express Tolstoy ! There is no chance ! The way of thinking is not to compare ! Please, do not kill Tolstoy with terrible presentation.
I love how from this scene (the costumes, the camera technique, the editing) you can understand the theme of the movie and the foreshadow of their fates
I really love the costume interpretation of that era, they took some liberties but it’s still gorgeous, and this dance sequence has always been my favorite.
25 volte??? Questa pizza hollywoodiana?? Assolutamente lontana dalla trama del romanzo di Tolstoj? Vronshji è tutto meno che l'affascinante conte del libro di cui si innamora la Karenina.
In high school we decided to make a play out of this book to impress our professor. In the end the book was so long half of the students didn't even read it but in the end we got A's. Now 4 yeard later I would willingly read the book again.
@RED-my9hl I couldn't help thinking of all the atrocities each uniformed mam represented... how they treated other humans in different climates and then come back and behave so genteel and if that offered a type of dangerous appeal to the prospects or actually a bit of a red flag.. its a very weird situation
Russian here 🙋♀️ Absolutely ADORE this film, they really did their best job at researching the era, the fashion, the dances, the story itself. Thank you to the director and the cast, absolutely wonderful and underrated movie! PS Please folks, read the book, it's genius and very modern despite the fact that the time is in 19th century. It's about relationship, love, loyalty and honesty that stay the same. Me and my hubby had good lengthy arguments about the roles of Karenin, Anna and Vronsky. Very interesting indeed )))
What?! The dances, the clothes, the hairstyles, and people's manners in this firm are absolutely historically inaccurate. If you think the opposite - you don't know history at all.
@samantha smith I answered the phrase "They did their best job at researching the era: the fashion, the dances, the story itself". This phrase sounds as if all of the above is conveyed in the film authentically. And this is not so at all.
Watching this waltz...it has so many things going on that it is nothing short of impressive that all the actors learned it and with such grace and perfect timing...
Keira Knightly’s presence is just smashing!! It’s overwhelming… I love how Joe Wright always does a dancing scene where everyone else disappears, that’s exactly how I feel when Keira Knightly is in a movie, everyone else disappears.
I love the way they look at each other, no one can hide a real love. If it’s hidden means, it’s not real. The most beautiful dance that I have ever seen ❣️❣️❣️
This scene is very ingenius. It uses the music and the dance choreography to express all the emotional tension between the three main characters, especially Anna's and Kitty's.
This is a fun and detailed scene in the film. Very creative full of archetypes, colorful costumes and movement. The music became a bit annoying as it started to sound like a calliope circus becoming more maddening. That may have been the point though.
Beautiful movements in this waltz. One has to know about the old dances, the quadrilles and so on, to understand these movements. We don't dance the waltz like this anymore, if we dance it at all.
The art of eye contact. Beatiful movie, i have watched yesteday after reading the book. The book is massively long, but i missed so many things in the movie that makes me miss the cutted parts witch was on the book, but its great if you see as a "shared experience", like i did. You'll not lose or decrease your experience if you only what the movie, but you got a huge plus when you understand exactly what the characters are feeling.
As much as I love reading books, I can't deny that they do not give me some details that movies do. One of them is the background music and some minor details that I fail to imagine while reading.
Just add behind the scenes video please, love this film so much, the ball scene was incredible and the best on cinematography for me for it's intensity, choreography, passion. After this film I discovered ATJ and watch every his movie , the cast is the best, just the way ATJ looks I think he could look as in the book, he is so handsome and charming with his natural hair he would look more mature.
Фантастика Режиссер, композитор, балетмейстер, оператор, звукооператор, актёры слились в экстазе и создали шедевр...впрочем, когда Джо Райт работает с Кирой Найтли и этой командой -- всегда получаются шедевры
Настолько не понимать Толстого,чтобы сделать такой пустой фильм! Танец-катастрофа в супер современном бреду! Руки-ноги! Люди,читайте книги хоть иногда!
well... Me too would be mad if some foreings take some of my national literature classics and just made it into a product to show actors being horny on screen, and erase the cultural background just for do they shit on it.
Я как русская, читавшая роман Анна Каренина несколько раз, могу точно сказать что нужно смотреть русский фильм. Только он максимально похож на роман Толстого. А это чистый голливуд с надуманными фигурами в танцах и силиконовыми страстями
Голливуд вы зря обругали, но про фильм согласна, ничего похожего по духу на Толстого нет. А уж танцы и костюмы вообще как самодеятельность. Актеры не играют Толстого, а играют какую то современную лавстори
@Cashmere а это не ругательство. Мне вот тоже сразу пришло на ум "голливуд" - что-то очередное про диснеевских принцесс с шаблонно кружащимимся парами и взлетающими юбками
I love these period dramas, the dancing and costumes. Is a beautiful waltz with the interlocking of hands sequence, change of partners. Aaron Taylor-Johnson looks like Gene Wilder
This movie is something beyond our appreciation . Is something future generations will watch and wonder how Joe Wright and all the movie troupe managed to put toghether such a brilliant and perfect representation of late 1800s society. It’s my favourite movie ever and I don’t think we will ever have something else so beautiful, so delicate and yet so passional and emotive, so good to watch and yet so instructive and educational. Setting a dance scene in a theater has so many deep meanings, they were all geniuses
no, this is just very stylized choreography for the film based far more on contemporary dance than any traditional ballroom dance of the Russian Empire. Also it's not supposed to be a Waltz they're dancing, the title of the video is wrong. In the book they dance a Mazurka which was a type of fast tempo folk dance not unlike a polka. The reason why it being a Mazurka is important is because the Mazurka is what you would dance with your intended, and so all the watching guests who are waiting for Count Vronsky to propose to Kitty would expect him to dance it with her. When he instead dances it with another man's wife while Kitty is right there, that's quite a scandal on the same sort of level of how weird everyone got after Oscar Isaac kissed Jessica Chastain's arm on a red carpet photo call, like, it wasn't anything bad in and of itself, but people made a lot of assumptions and talked about it for days. But the intricacies of this plot detail are unfortunately lost in the adaptation from book to screen. We only get a couple of background lines about Kitty's mother's meddling match making and that couple dancing saying "You watch, he'll dance the Mazurka with Kitty" things that only make sense if you already know the context rather than doing anything to give you the context.
@@ArtemisScribe A polka is in 2/4 or 4/4, generally speaking; a mazurka is a 3/4 Polish traditional dance with an elongated first accent--usually a dotted 8th, followed by a 16th, then 2 quarters. The music played for this clip--original or not--is a waltz: 3/4. The arms are not standard but seem to be some stylization of the Laendler--very charming, and something one might actually see in young people in Austria or Switzerland. I can't speak for Russia, but little fads in ballroom dance do occur... It is choreographed, of course, as is the stopped motion of other dancers, but I could not say it might not spontaneously occur to the young--so to say it "never" occurred seems rather unrealistic... And certain music enchants us into believing we were once graceful and spontaneous--even if we weren't...
@@ArtemisScribe Ah, that's what's going on! I've neither read the book or seen the film, so thanks for the context to the increasing sense of panic in the clip!
Can we just appreciate the fact that Kiera and Matthew are in ANOTHER period movie together? Like- Wow, Mr and Mrs Darcy really have let marriage change them
*What a beautiful period to have lived in, danced in, and fell in love in, with Count Alexei Vronsky no less, l've never seen all of the film ofcource, l just love the romance of it all, the lifts were great too in this dance.*
I just can’t that they decided to cut right at the glimpse of the train part, the train approaching in all it’s horror was the climax of this scene uuuggggghhhhhhh
This movie was so breathtaking, I fell in ❤ with Aaron Taylor Johnson for sure. But the ending is just so so sad! Really captures the enchantment, and downfall, of a wild “love”.
I have the book ,I’ve seen other more true to the source material versions and I still find this a beautiful movie. However I also think that this is a perfect movie for the tick tick age 😉

I want to learn more.
🎄
I've always wondered when people dance like that how no one bumps into each other
The choreography is by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, a well-known choreographer. His other choreographies are amazing! Definitely worth it to check some out as well! Like 'I will fall for you' from Woodkid or Aqua or Qutb!
In the book there's a scene where Kitty and Anna talk at a gathering before the ball, and Kitty is getting a powdery pink dress. She tells Anna to wear purple, and it struck me as if Kitty wanted to match Anna at the ball, an innocent desire. When Anna decides to wear black velvet, it's clear she's up to something. I like that they switched Kitty to white; more effective in movie for the dichotomy.
Good and Evil.
When a waltz is more passionate than a tango…
@ymarrero23 come now I thought that was a brilliant observation. I was amazed myself at how sensuously the waltz was portrayed here. Yet I am a big fan of the tango.
The weird touchy flaily arms were a bit much. That's not really a part in normal waltzes, right? I get they were trying to make it artsy and emotional, but was a bit overdone for me.
@@dgriite Its not a lot like a typical waltz, its mote like a ballet performance, and they are not trying to make it artsy. They are trying to make it like a ballet performance. And it works.
@@martineshamzin7535 Doesn't work for me. I understand the wanted to add more movement/emotion/grace to the scene, and a touch of the fluttery arms can be seen in other scenes at well. It's subtler and works. In this scene, it reads a bit like "Slap some russian ballet kind of moves to make the viennese waltz look more 'russian' and angsty" and "make them awkwardly touch each others faces and arms to make it look more sensual".
@@dgriite Well, everyone has different tastes. It was definitely. bold move, and Im sure that means some will love it some will hate it. I have personally never seen anything quite like it.The whole story really isn't very sensible though, if you know what I mean. Would someone Anna's age really kill herself because she wasn't able to keep a man's attention 100% on herself? She had looks, she had money. Why not ditch Vronsky and go back to Italy? And why were they so completely unable to make friends there? A good looking couple, foreign, with money! that just doesn't seem right. Open. salon. You don't have to paint yourself. All I ever get reading the story is that no one would ever really act like that. Its super unrealistic. So why not make it even MORE unrealistic. Doesn't that make sense? Im not trying to convince you, of course. Any opinion is as good as any other in such matters.
I love how they show on kitty how much time has past. Kitty always has a new dance partner, but Anna and Alexai only dance with eachother. It kinda reminds my of cinderella, how they danced all night only with eachother.
Omg I haven't even noticed before yet it's so obvious! Thank you for pointing it out!
The only thing I know about this story is that the book was massively long, and it had one of the highest ever point values on our Accelerated Reading computer program back in elementary school. Everyone in school took the test and failed miserably just to try and get as many points as possible without reading the book. It was epic.
Damn. We were just trying to survive MS DOS and the Oregon Trail when I was in elementary school.

😂
@@energymaven7537 oh believe me, we were doing that, too haha!
AR points…blast from the past
Joe Wright’s idea of staging the story in a Theatre really is ingenious on so many levels, especially in this scene as it perfectly highlights Tolstoy’s goal to expose ‘high society’ for the pantomime that it is and how women like Anna and Kitty are expected to ‘play their part’ and put on a show!
*Anna respesents the black Swan, who steals away the Prince from the white Swan (Kitty). This isn't a Vienna waltz, it's more like a ballet performance*
Это вообще не вальс,это породия. Взгляд извращенного человека на совсем незнакомую культуру царской России. Ни костюмы,ни поведение не показывают красоту и культуру, изысканность,манеры и обязательный этикет.
Yes
@@stefaroy3650 к сожалению, вы упустили суть картины. Джо Райт и не пытался реалистично показать царскую Россию, но мастерски исполнил театральное представление по мотивам романа Толстого. Учитесь смотреть глубже
Its more like orientalish waltzish something c'mon guys :))
@@stefaroy3650 это действительно похоже на пародию.что хотел сим сказать автор загадка?
The symmetry between the men and women in the partner dance is refreshing. We’re used to the man taking the lead while the woman follows but this is a perfect representation of how yin and yang is meant to work together to create a flourishing partnership as equals. It even drives the symbolism further that Anna is in Black and Vronsky is in white, like Yin Yang. What a relieving breath of fresh air.
the book is actually incredible give it a chance y’all!!!
The book is actually an awful bore, and the way Tolstoy writes women would make almost anyone angry. I am certainly no feminist, but he literally thinks women are idiots.
perhaps the translation was not that good :)
@@martineshamzin7535 no no not true at all, the female characters are as diverse in personality as the male ones are! I was very impressed by the way he wrote the women and understood their plights
@@martineshamzin7535 i think a lot of the problem is that he wrote it in real time. we followed everything the characters did on a regular day. that’s why it seems borish. but i don’t think any of the women in this book were “stupid”. Anna may have been foolish but she knew what she was doing and the other women in the book are portrayed as pure.
@@martineshamzin7535 I disagree. There is a great variety of characters. With the same logic he wrote some of the men being idiots or constant flirts which is not true with every man in the world even in that society. Kitty was the classical hyper sensitive kinda silly young girl while her companion Varenka was a very efficient and wise woman
Anna was logical at first and slowly derailed because she couldn't stand society's pressure. Her sister in law began from a frightened woman who would collapse at the news of her husband flirting and she in the end turned into a compassionate woman that was willing go go against society to offer some support to Anna.
I would agree that the book became boring at certain points because it got ridiculously long and had many different stories together but I absolutely disagree about your comment about Tolstoy's characters
It's also so interesting because whilst Vronsky and Anna move effortlessly across the room, although Kitty is clearly the best dancer it looks lime she has to work harder with all the other dancers she had to show that she's trying to keep in the loop whilst fighting for Vronsky's affection.
they adapted this part of the book so well omg, I'm actually impressed by how they summarized this well what happened with anna, vronsky and kitty in a single one scene
This film is the best summation of the true intent of each original character-Levin, Anna, Karenin, Kitty-they are all complex and poignant
This is my favorite choreography from any movie. As a dancer and being in so many musicals growing up, dancing with a partner can be awkward or beautiful. I love how Anna and Alexei’s bodies flow so seductively together. It’s like they are making love while dancing. I cry anytime I watch this scene.
You must never seen dirty dancing nobody keep baby in a corner
@ T. Chester I have seen it a lot but my statement still stands. This is on a whole other level than Dirty Dancing choreography. This is very tight and pristine and not sloppy and loose like Dirty Dancing.
I wouldn't tell to many people. Sorry, it wasn't that impressive.
Akapam57 I have only told youtube. Cancel me if you wish 😁
❤❤❤
When Keira and Matthew enter the scene I cannot help myself as I scream internally "Mr & Mrs Darcy".
Oh my😂 that would be a sad sequel of pride and prejudice
I adore this movie! Definitely, it was ahead of its time. the dance choreography just leaves me breathless everytime, such an amazing foreshadowing
4:16 I love where the whole thing just froze still, and it looks like that only two of them that matters there. It is a true feeling when you're in love
ABSOLUTELY!
I loved this adaptation. Even though a lot of people said it was way worse than the other Anna Karenina movies, I liked the new approach and the decision to set the action like in a theatre, because that's how it really felt for Anna - being watched and judged by everyone. Brilliant movie.
This was a beautiful film to watch.
I loved it too!!!
A story of forbidden love and the undeniable passion that envelopes it. Unbridled passion leading to painful consequences. Great story. The choreography was unique. I found the twirling hand motions odd.
Snake? Like passion?
I know this movie is probably not very book accurate, it's definitely on my to-read list, but I do admire this movie on it's own. Poor Kitty looks so anxious in this scene and the way the music and dancing play out it's very haunting. I sometimes watch this film when I just need something playing in the background that is lovely and for me very easy to watch again and again
I read the book in its original language several times. I have a BA in Russian Language & Literature.
Is this film true to the book? No. The story in the book is darker, more oppressive.
Does this film stand alone in its beauty and poignancy? Absolutely!
and maybe, just maybe, the film has encouraged some viewers to read the book and see that the two can coexist and be appreciated on their own merit
It is actually a good read. Captures you.
Someone from West can not , absolutely can not express Tolstoy ! There is no chance ! The way of thinking is not to compare ! Please, do not kill Tolstoy with terrible presentation.
@@vidavuk1649 stay mad.
@@vidavuk1649 Totally agree. I was just disgusted. And how dare they to insult Tolstoy assigning it at elementary school!
Take my breath away. The most stunningly beautiful stylized dramatic dance in a movie ever!
Um, Classic Hollywood films would like a word with you...
The faces of the woman were varied and in age and children around ....they were all... comfortable with themselves I absolutely loved it
I love how from this scene (the costumes, the camera technique, the editing) you can understand the theme of the movie and the foreshadow of their fates
4:21-5:30 is one of the most elegant cinematographic illustrations of being with the one you’ve in love with. Outstanding scene.
I really love the costume interpretation of that era, they took some liberties but it’s still gorgeous, and this dance sequence has always been my favorite.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I've seen it at least 25 times. It's breathtaking. Extraordinary. Genius.
25 volte??? Questa pizza hollywoodiana?? Assolutamente lontana dalla trama del romanzo di Tolstoj? Vronshji è tutto meno che l'affascinante conte del libro di cui si innamora la Karenina.
In high school we decided to make a play out of this book to impress our professor. In the end the book was so long half of the students didn't even read it but in the end we got A's. Now 4 yeard later I would willingly read the book again.
I just found out the actor playing Anna's brother also played Mr. Darcy!!! Like what!!!??
Well it was the same director
And Tom in succession
No way
Yeahh 🥺😭I was also, surprised but they did act great as siblings in this film ❤️
This movie is insanely beautiful.
I love the waltz... so graceful and romantic... it's really a shame we don't gather to dance like this anymore...💛💫💛
This dance is absolutely historically inaccurate, so people of 19th century didn't dance like this too.
@@Olga_Ovechkina Thank you... it's always nice when people always see the negative instead of the what's positive about the statement...
also u would not have had a chance to attend a ball like this since ur not high society, u probably would have been miserable fighting to survive
@RED-my9hl I couldn't help thinking of all the atrocities each uniformed mam represented... how they treated other humans in different climates and then come back and behave so genteel and if that offered a type of dangerous appeal to the prospects or actually a bit of a red flag.. its a very weird situation
It's a very sensual dance.. moving you arm across each others chests like that ..
Russian here 🙋♀️ Absolutely ADORE this film, they really did their best job at researching the era, the fashion, the dances, the story itself. Thank you to the director and the cast, absolutely wonderful and underrated movie! PS Please folks, read the book, it's genius and very modern despite the fact that the time is in 19th century. It's about relationship, love, loyalty and honesty that stay the same. Me and my hubby had good lengthy arguments about the roles of Karenin, Anna and Vronsky. Very interesting indeed )))
What?! The dances, the clothes, the hairstyles, and people's manners in this firm are absolutely historically inaccurate. If you think the opposite - you don't know history at all.
@samantha smith I answered the phrase "They did their best job at researching the era: the fashion, the dances, the story itself". This phrase sounds as if all of the above is conveyed in the film authentically. And this is not so at all.
What is the book called?
i love how there’s not a lot of dialogue in this scene but we still fully understand how everyone feels ugh this movie
Watching this waltz...it has so many things going on that it is nothing short of impressive that all the actors learned it and with such grace and perfect timing...
Loved this film…anything with Keira is marvellous. Aaron is so underrated.
I don’t want to be rude, disrespectful, or anything but it’s probably because he married a 45 year old lady when he was 22
@@ieasliygetaddicted3531 so what?
Keira Knightly’s presence is just smashing!! It’s overwhelming… I love how Joe Wright always does a dancing scene where everyone else disappears, that’s exactly how I feel when Keira Knightly is in a movie, everyone else disappears.
She's captivated me ever since I was a child, so magnetic
This musical is so underrated, it is sad. I enjoyed it a lot.
…it’s not a musical just so you know
Before, it was Elisabeth and Mr. Darcy who made the other dance couples disappear ☺️🤩
Same director for both projects. I noticed it's his schtick.
the difference is that elizabeth and mr,. darcy are siblings in here haha
It’s exactly as her dance with Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice
Elizabeth and Mr.Darcy run so these two could walk.
Same director!
Kiera Knightley’s rendition of the tragic figure Anna Karenina is superb. She portrayed her descent into desperation and madness with perfection!
I love the way they look at each other, no one can hide a real love. If it’s hidden means, it’s not real. The most beautiful dance that I have ever seen ❣️❣️❣️
One of the greatest novels ever written. Everyone should read it.
Bhe il film non lo rispecchia per niente. Hollywood rovina sempre tutto
the music, the coreo, the colours, the acting - this scene is brilliant
This scene is very ingenius. It uses the music and the dance choreography to express all the emotional tension between the three main characters, especially Anna's and Kitty's.
This is a fun and detailed scene in the film. Very creative full of archetypes, colorful costumes and movement. The music became a bit annoying as it started to sound like a calliope circus becoming more maddening. That may have been the point though.
Yes, it becomes off key and deranged sounding.
Yes that was the point! The music fits the desperation in the air
Yes. And there was the sound of passionate breathing along with it!
I think the music started to sound strange and distorted to match Kitty’s distress/emotions.
This movie and the soundtrack are MASTERPIECES....
All that glorious Russian literature and the lovely elaborate dances . Love it.
Здесь ничего русского! Это отвратительно! Смотрите хорошие классические экранизации.
Beautiful movements in this waltz. One has to know about the old dances, the quadrilles and so on, to understand these movements. We don't dance the waltz like this anymore, if we dance it at all.
The art of eye contact. Beatiful movie, i have watched yesteday after reading the book. The book is massively long, but i missed so many things in the movie that makes me miss the cutted parts witch was on the book, but its great if you see as a "shared experience", like i did. You'll not lose or decrease your experience if you only what the movie, but you got a huge plus when you understand exactly what the characters are feeling.
One of the most beautiful scenes in cinematic history.... Everything is perfect
alexei little smiles at anna during the dance are killing me. they’re so oblivious to wtf is going on around them
As much as I love reading books, I can't deny that they do not give me some details that movies do. One of them is the background music and some minor details that I fail to imagine while reading.
Maggie Gyllenhaal narrates the audiobook on audible and it is really good. She has a really nice voice.
One of the most beautiful choreography I've ever seen 😍 I'm in love, it's like a living poetry
seriously this scene is one of the best in a period costume drama ever
I’m sure that every Ballet dancer loved this waltz
Yup lol💖💖💖💖 gorgeous
An underrated piece of art
Just add behind the scenes video please, love this film so much, the ball scene was incredible and the best on cinematography for me for it's intensity, choreography, passion. After this film I discovered ATJ and watch every his movie , the cast is the best, just the way ATJ looks I think he could look as in the book, he is so handsome and charming with his natural hair he would look more mature.
Can watch the waltz scene for thousand times.
Фантастика
Режиссер, композитор, балетмейстер, оператор, звукооператор, актёры слились в экстазе и создали шедевр...впрочем, когда Джо Райт работает с Кирой Найтли и этой командой -- всегда получаются шедевры
За шедевр тут автор сценария отвечает да костюмер, да Джуд Лоу)
idk what this is or why it was recommended to me but it was indeed satisfying to watch.
Настолько не понимать Толстого,чтобы сделать такой пустой фильм! Танец-катастрофа в супер современном бреду! Руки-ноги! Люди,читайте книги хоть иногда!
😁👍 всё ужасно в фильме, а танец просто полный отстой 🤦
Hollywood crap
))) Так Толстой только повод, каждый снимает в соответствии со своим духовным состоянием. Скажем так,они нас не удивили ни разу))
Какой вычурный танец, последовательность движений-кривляний
Очень красивый фильм. Лучшая экранизация
Kiera’s jewels by Chanel …. C’est magnifique
They really are
Those jewels look amazing.
White house black market..has the exact same necklace $100 . Obviously doesn't have diamonds....but is as beautiful and outstanding with any attire ;)
This entire ball sequence leaves me spellbound. All of it is gorgeous to watch.
This film is utterly mesmerizing!
The Tailoring of The gentlemen and The ladies; Is Superb and Almost Splendid.
2:04 Outstanding contrast between the two couples- black and white.
This is one of the most beautiful moments ever captured on film. I recall being mesmerized by it when I was in the movie theater.
This movie is AWESOME! Done like a stage play movie. An absolutely beautiful love story.
Very sad ending.
I would absolutely love to learn this dance. It is absolutely breathtaking!
I love it how every english comment loves and compliments the movie whilst the Russian comments absolutely despise it
It´s a British film, not a Russian one.
@@rosedewittbukater4203 based on a Russian book.
@@dahveedandsarkis2123 I think everybody knows Tolstoy, don´t you?
well... Me too would be mad if some foreings take some of my national literature classics and just made it into a product to show actors being horny on screen, and erase the cultural background just for do they shit on it.
Right? I’m living to read the Russians completely obliterate the film lol
В то время, если кто то поднимает на руки девушку публично, обязан на ней жениться. Иначе - дуэль
Я как русская, читавшая роман Анна Каренина несколько раз, могу точно сказать что нужно смотреть русский фильм. Только он максимально похож на роман Толстого. А это чистый голливуд с надуманными фигурами в танцах и силиконовыми страстями
Какие жуткие танцы. И неприлично ржущие офицеры на галерке на светском балу 🙈
I thought the same thing
Голливуд вы зря обругали, но про фильм согласна, ничего похожего по духу на Толстого нет. А уж танцы и костюмы вообще как самодеятельность. Актеры не играют Толстого, а играют какую то современную лавстори
What is a good Russian version ? I want to watch it
@Cashmere а это не ругательство. Мне вот тоже сразу пришло на ум "голливуд" - что-то очередное про диснеевских принцесс с шаблонно кружащимимся парами и взлетающими юбками
Everything about this movie is just
* chefs kiss *
Is that a meme? I keep seeing it in comments.
The set looks like it came from the Old Hollywood era and I love it 😍🥰
I love these period dramas, the dancing and costumes. Is a beautiful waltz with the interlocking of hands sequence, change of partners.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson looks like Gene Wilder
Они всё похожи на фигуры из Паноктикума;))Я даже подумала сначала что это пародия!!
An absolute masterpiece ❤❤❤
at 5:11, is the common musical theme you will hear, woven throughout the film
This movie is something beyond our appreciation . Is something future generations will watch and wonder how Joe Wright and all the movie troupe managed to put toghether such a brilliant and perfect representation of late 1800s society. It’s my favourite movie ever and I don’t think we will ever have something else so beautiful, so delicate and yet so passional and emotive, so good to watch and yet so instructive and educational. Setting a dance scene in a theater has so many deep meanings, they were all geniuses
I wonder if there is any evidence that Russians danced waltz like this in that era? There seems to be a lot of arm movements.
No, no one ever danced like that...
Let's say it is a nod to the influence that Tchaikovsky had on the performing arts.
no, this is just very stylized choreography for the film based far more on contemporary dance than any traditional ballroom dance of the Russian Empire. Also it's not supposed to be a Waltz they're dancing, the title of the video is wrong. In the book they dance a Mazurka which was a type of fast tempo folk dance not unlike a polka. The reason why it being a Mazurka is important is because the Mazurka is what you would dance with your intended, and so all the watching guests who are waiting for Count Vronsky to propose to Kitty would expect him to dance it with her. When he instead dances it with another man's wife while Kitty is right there, that's quite a scandal on the same sort of level of how weird everyone got after Oscar Isaac kissed Jessica Chastain's arm on a red carpet photo call, like, it wasn't anything bad in and of itself, but people made a lot of assumptions and talked about it for days. But the intricacies of this plot detail are unfortunately lost in the adaptation from book to screen. We only get a couple of background lines about Kitty's mother's meddling match making and that couple dancing saying "You watch, he'll dance the Mazurka with Kitty" things that only make sense if you already know the context rather than doing anything to give you the context.
@@ArtemisScribe A polka is in 2/4 or 4/4, generally speaking; a mazurka is a 3/4 Polish traditional dance with an elongated first accent--usually a dotted 8th, followed by a 16th, then 2 quarters. The music played for this clip--original or not--is a waltz: 3/4. The arms are not standard but seem to be some stylization of the Laendler--very charming, and something one might actually see in young people in Austria or Switzerland. I can't speak for Russia, but little fads in ballroom dance do occur... It is choreographed, of course, as is the stopped motion of other dancers, but I could not say it might not spontaneously occur to the young--so to say it "never" occurred seems rather unrealistic... And certain music enchants us into believing we were once graceful and spontaneous--even if we weren't...
@@ArtemisScribe Ah, that's what's going on! I've neither read the book or seen the film, so thanks for the context to the increasing sense of panic in the clip!
The same thing that happened to Kitty, happened to me, we ended up like this: 🤡
Oh no 💔💔💔
Can we just appreciate the fact that Kiera and Matthew are in ANOTHER period movie together? Like-
Wow, Mr and Mrs Darcy really have let marriage change them
That is the weirdest waltz I have ever seen
*What a beautiful period to have lived in, danced in, and fell in love in, with Count Alexei Vronsky no less, l've never seen all of the film ofcource, l just love the romance of it all, the lifts were great too in this dance.*
If you were born into nobility. Otherwise, it was work to the bone, not galas or beautiful jewellery.
if you were white and wealthy and not a soldier
You really have not read the book.🤣
I need to immediately learn this dancing!!!
I just can’t that they decided to cut right at the glimpse of the train part, the train approaching in all it’s horror was the climax of this scene uuuggggghhhhhhh
Love these two in this movie. Aaron’s great!!!
This movie was so breathtaking, I fell in ❤ with Aaron Taylor Johnson for sure. But the ending is just so so sad! Really captures the enchantment, and downfall, of a wild “love”.
This is lowkey a pride and prejudice crossover
what a wretchedness this film is!
That Black Dress and the necklace is love. Ive seen this movie so long ago yet those stuck in my mind along with the dance.
I have the book ,I’ve seen other more true to the source material versions and I still find this a beautiful movie.
However I also think that this is a perfect movie for the tick tick age 😉
What’s the book called ?
Думаю,подросткам этот фильм лучше не смотреть))
What incredible excitement in this clip.
Outstanding!
