Anna Karenina is set in Russia in the 1870's
The Russian tragedy has been turned into TV mini-series and films countless times before, the first starring Greta Garbo in 1935. But this adaptation - written by Tom Stoppard (Shakespeare in Love) - could have Oscar success written all over it.
Anna Karenina is released in cinemas 7 September.
