KARENINA & I SPECIAL SCREENING

KARENINA & I (12+)

Norway, 2017, colour, 89 min.
Director: Tommaso Mottola
The Norwegian actress Gørild Mauseth is challenged by the almost impossible task of playing Anna Karenina in a language she never spoke and in the author’s home country. She embarks on a journey to learn Russian and discover the real reasons why Tolstoy (LIAM NEESON) wrote the novel. What Gørild does not know is that Anna Karenina will become
the role of her life and change her forever.
The film provides a unique insight into how an actor explores the boundaries between fiction and reality. Literature, theatre and real life come together, portraying Anna Karenina like no Hollywood or Moscow blockbuster has ever done. It is about understanding love, enduring loneliness, pursuing hopes and dreams and living life to the fullest.
