What should l do with this,
Your Excellency?

Yes.

l picked it out for
Daria Alexandrovna
and the children.

(BONES CRUNCHlNG)

Bonjour, Lili.

Bonjour.

Bonjour, Grisha.

Bonjour.

Vasya.

Who is coming to see
Grand-maman?

CHlLDREN: Me! Me! Me!

Come along,
my little ducklings.

(SHUSHlNG)
(CLlCKlNG TONGUE)

(GlGGLES)

Be good today. l'm off.

(CHUCKLES)

Read the chapter carefully.

l'll come back
to test you on it.

Read it twice.

(EXHALES)

Au revoir.

(GRUNTS)

(WEEPlNG)

(GASPS)

Oh, Stiva.

(HUMMlNG)

Aunt Dolly found a note
from the governess.

Well?

Stiva wants me to
come to Moscow to persuade
Dolly to forgive him.

l'm to be deprived
of my wife so that
adultery may be forgiven?

(CHUCKLES)

l can't excuse him just
because he's your brother.

Oh, it's for
Dolly's sake, too.

Four committees today.

l have the world
waiting for me.

There's never time to
look at your exercises.

Serozha is doing very well,
Your Excellency.

Who put this shirt on you?

Well, never mind.
l'll come and hear you read.

KARENlN:
Tomorrow, perhaps.

Thank you, Lukich.
Perhaps tomorrow.

No. No, no, not tomorrow.

LUKlCH: Thank you,
Your Excellency.

Come along.

Alexei, do you think
nine years of marriage
and children

should count for nothing
against an infatuation?

No. Very well.

But sin has a price,
you may be sure of that.

(SNlCKERS)

But why?

ANNA:
Because that's where
Aunt Dolly lives.

But why?
l told you, Serozha.

She's not well.
l must go to see her.

But why, Mama?

Don't make Mama cry.

l'll be back before you know,
and bring you a present.

l don't want a present.
l want you to stay.

Oh, my little Kotik.

What present?

That's better. (LAUGHS)

(CHUGGlNG)

lt's the first time
l've left my little boy.

So, you're leaving your son
and l'm returning to mine.

l'm Countess Vronskaya.

l've been in St. Petersburg
for the christening of
a granddaughter.

My eldest son married
Princess Chirkov.

You're a charming creature.
Why don't l know you?

l've never been
in Moscow society, really.

But you know my name.

l've heard you mentioned.
Talked about, you mean?

(LAUGHS)

Ah, love.

Was it love?
Always.

My sons are ashamed of me.

But l'd rather end up
wishing l hadn't than
end up wishing l had.

Wouldn't you?

l don't know.

Some man came
without an appointment,
Your Excellency.

Waiting outside.

Levin !
Where did you disappear?

l'm very anxious to see you.

l need your advice.

Well, come into
my room, then.

This is my oldest friend,
Konstantin Dmitrievich Levin.

Someone send word
l'll be a few minutes late.

That's my office, up there.

Oh, l've been hard at it.
Sit down.

Hard at what, exactly?

Well, we're overwhelmed
with work.

Paperwork.

Paperwork is
the soul of Russia.
Farming is only the stomach.

Now, when am l going to
come and shoot some snipe?

(LAUGHS)

Look at you,
in Western clothes you told me
you'd never wear again.

Something's up.

Yes, l'm in love.
l've come back to propose.

Have you guessed who she is?

l. . . l have a suspicion.
Why didn't you propose
when you were here?

l decided it was impossible.

Kitty is of
the heavens, an angel.
And l am of the earth.

But then, l thought
and thought, and there's
no life for me without her.

Do l have a chance?
Of course you do.

The Shcherbatskys
are giving a soiree
this evening.

Get there early,
before the crowd.

And if l may suggest. . .
Anything, what?

New boots.
Right. Anything else?

We'd better have
dinner together.

Come on.
We'll meet later
at l'Angleterre.

Or do you prefer
the Hermitage?

Let's say, 5:30
at l'Angleterre.

l owe them more
than the Hermitage,

so it wouldn't be fair
to withdraw my custom.

Uh, so, new boots,
coat, and a proper hat.

(BELL TOLLlNG)
(BLOWlNG WHlSTLE)

(MEN WHlSTLlNG)

Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

Do you. . .

Excuse me.

lt's so unfair.

You marry for love.

You're a good husband.

Children arrive,
years depart.

And all of a sudden,
your wife grows old and tired.

And her hair is thin.
And her body. . .

And you yourself,
you still have your vigor!

And then you find yourself
a martyr to distraction
by so many women.

Forgive me,
but l find that
incomprehensible.

As though, l should leave
this restaurant and steal
a roll from a baker's shop.

Well, you know,
a freshly baked roll.

l'm talking about love,
and you're talking
about your appetite.

Easily confused.
Now, do you know,
um, Count Vronsky?

Who? No. Why?

He's your rival.
He turned up from
Petersburg after you left.

Who is he?

Oh, you don't need to
worry about him.
He's. . . He's just. . .

He's a rich,
good-looking cavalry officer

who has nothing better
to do than make love
to pretty women.

ls that cabbage soup?

Potage aux choux a la russe,
as the gentleman ordered.

(CHUCKLlNG)
lt's what l wanted.

Understand that, for me,
tonight is a question of
life and death.

Kostya. . .

Kostya, Kitty would be
mad to refuse you.

And Dolly's on
your side, you know?

She says her sister Kitty
was always meant to be
your wife, and will be.

Dolly said that?

l've always thought
your Dolly was a gem.

She is.

l loved her to distraction.

KlTTY: Konstantin !

Konstantin !

(KlTTY CHUCKLES)

Konstantin !

l'm too early.
l'll come back.

No. Come up.

Look at me.

l'm receiving for
Papa and Maman,
who are late to dress.

lt's my first reception.

Princess Ekaterina.

Delighted. Delighted.

l'm so pleased you were
able to be with us,
Konstantin Dmitrievich.

Kitty, you look. . .

You look. . .
Stiva told us you were back.

How long are you staying?

l don't know.
lt depends on you.

On me? (CHUCKLES)

What l mean to say is l. . .

l only came with one purpose.

l want to. . .
Will you be my wife?

(DOOR OPENlNG)
(WOMEN LAUGHlNG)

l'm sorry. l'm sorry.

Wrong moment.
lt's the wrong moment.

But will you?

l can't.

l'm sorry.

Yes.

lt was impossible.

l'm sorry.

Are you the brother
of Nikolai Levin?

Yes.

He's in Moscow.
He's staying at
the Unicorn in Khitrovka.

How do you know?

lt's the sort of thing l know.

Count Vronsky?

Yes?

(CHUCKLES)

Princess Kitty.

lt's been so long,
and yet, it seems
like yesterday.

(GlGGLES)
lt was yesterday.

(PEOPLE SHOUTlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

Excuse me.

No.

Sorry.

(MAN COUGHlNG)

lt's Kostya.

Good God ! Look at him.

You look like a capitalist.

What do you want?

Nothing.
l came to see you.

Good evening, miss. . .
Madam.

Don't talk to her like that.
You sound like a magistrate.

(COUGHlNG)

More vodka for my brother!
Quick about it.

l don't want anything.

l'm all right.

Who told you
where to find me?

A colonel in
the Third Department.
They're watching you.

Good.

They must think
l'm dangerous.

What have you got
to smile about?

Nothing.

That's right.

The day is coming.
l have given up
my birthright for it.

You're on the wrong side
of history.

Not because privilege
is immoral. (SPlTS)

But because it's irrational.
(COUGHlNG)

He's sick!

Let go, if you know
what's good for you.

l took Marya Nikolaevna
from a brothel.

(SlGHS)

But l consider her my wife.

lf her presence offends,
you're free to leave.

Are you married?

No.

Why not?
Are you waiting
to fall in love?

No.
Good.

Romantic love will be
the last illusion
of the old order.

(COUGHS)

You should marry
one of your peasants.

Yes. l damn well should.

The brotherhood of man !

(COUGHlNG)

Nikolai, you need to
see a doctor.

Then come and stay
with me at Pokrovskoe till
you get your health back.

With my wife?

lf you. . .

Or. . .

Or go abroad to a spa.

l'll send more
if that's what you want.

Hello, what's this?

Austrian royalty
on their honeymoon.
l've got them for four days.

The private carriage will
stop opposite the stand.

Bad luck.
What do they like, art?

Food.

Here's the train.

Oh.

l'll come back.

Stiva!

Anna!

(BOTH LAUGHlNG)

You don't look ashamed !
Oh, l am, l really am.

Yes, of course.
Oblonsky's sister,
Karenina.

Charmante, don't you think?

(GASPS)

(CLANGlNG)

There, Countess.

You have found your son,
and l have found my brother.

Madam Karenina
has a son, too.

lt's the first time
they've been apart,
so she frets about him.

Excuse me for not
recognizing you before.

Au revoir, Countess.
Au revoir, my dear.

Let me kiss that pretty face.

(RUMBLlNG)

(PEOPLE SHRlEKlNG)

Keep your people
inside until this
has been cleared up.

(MAN SHOUTlNG lN RUSSlAN)

The sole supporter
of a large family, they say.

Well, can't anything
be done for them?

Wait for me, Maman.

VRONSKY: Stand back.
Move aside. Stand back.

l have you to
thank for that.

OBLONSKY: Oh !
Oh, what a good fellow!

What a good fellow.

ANNA: Have you known
Count Vronsky Iong?

Did you like him?
He's in love with Kitty.

Oh.

But we should be discussing
you and Dolly.

What have you got
to say for yourself?

l've said it all.
On my knees, in tears.

Now l need you to say it.

l'm going to the office,
so you'll have Dolly
to yourself.

Don't be late home.

(SlGHlNG) Oh, dear.

Kitty's coming by
to see you.

She's all grown up
and a bit frightened of you.

The belle of
St. Petersburg society.

(LAUGHS)
ls that who l am?

Dolly.

Stiva has told me.

(SOBS)

Oh, Dolly, l'm sorry.

From the bottom of my heart.

l don't know what to do.

l know. l know.

l can't bear to be with him.

And he doesn't care.
He's got what he wants.

What he wants is you.
He loves you, Dolly.

You and the children
are everything to him.

Are we?

And there is room
for a governess?

That was shameful,
disgraceful,
but it was not love.

lt was the animal in man,
not the soul.

Stiva's remorse is
from the soul.

Well, what about me?

Does his remorse
make it easier for me?

l know you are suffering.
But, Dolly, you must tell me.

ls there enough love
left in your heart?
Enough to forgive him?

Well, when l think
of them together,
l can't forgive him.

No.

My poor lamb.
So you would rather
accept your fate?

My fate?

But l haven't done anything !
lt's him who. . . (WEEPlNG)

Do you love him, Dolly?

(SOBBlNG)

You love him,
and he loves you.

But you can't forgive.

So, your lives must
continue like this forever,
with both of you wretched.

Oh, that's pretty.
ls that a wedding dress?

Yes.

Look for
the "G" for "Grisha."

Here.
Oh. (LAUGHS)

Can you do your whole name?

Doesn't that look
like a princess? No?

(DOOR BANGlNG OPEN)

OBLONSKY: l'm home!
Home, home, home!

Now, where are
my little ducklings?

CHlLDREN: Papa! Papa!

Papa!

Will you stay for
the Bobrishchevs' ball, Anna?

Oh. l always feel
dull at a ball.

Ah !
(CHlLDREN LAUGH)

Stiva, tell Anna
she must come to the ball.

Well, of course she must.

And God go with you.

You can introduce me
to your new governess.

But she's old !
She's a hundred !

(CHUCKLES)

l know why
you want me to come.

You want everyone
to be there

because you're quite sure
it's going to be your night.

(CHUCKLES)
How did you know?

l know everything.

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, to be your age again.

Surrounded by that. . .

That blue mist.

l was 1 8, too,
when l got married.

ls the prince at home?

SERVANT: He's just
gone up, l believe.

ls nobody receiving?

l can enquire, sir.
l don't think so.

The princess retired early.
ls there a message?

(GASPS)

No. Thank you.

(MAN SHOUTlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

We thought you would
come back married.

Did you?

But you only came back
with a hat.

A black silk hat.

What kind of animal
can you make a hat
like that from?

(CHUCKLES)
lt's not natural.

Next time, perhaps.

There'll be no next time.

(CHlCKEN CLUCKlNG)

Kitty.

May l have a waltz?

You may, Boris.

l'll save you the third,
just because it's your
first ball.

You're my first conquest!

(WALTZ MUSlC PLAYlNG)

Where do you want
to be taken?

There.

(GASPS)
(APPLAUSE)

How are you, Stiva?

Thanks to Anna,
l am a happy man.
Would you like to dance?

No. Ask Anna.

No, l don't. . .

Come on, then.
OBLONSKY: Oh !
(LAUGHS) Look out!

This vile, idiotic
matchmaking of yours.

For goodness' sake,
what have l done?

ls anything the matter?

No.

You look as lovely as ever,
Princess Kitty.

Don't ask me, Maman.

Kitty, it's us next.

Princess, l have the honor
to claim my dance.

He'll dance the mazurka
with Kitty. You'll see.

(LAUGHlNG)

OBLONSKY:
l am ! l really am !

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

Dance with me.

l'm not used to being
spoken to like that

by a man l met once
at a railway station.

l dare say,
but if l'm not to
dance with you,

then l'm getting out of
this operetta and going home.

Then, for Kitty's sake.

(SHUDDERS)

That's my sister.

(PANTlNG)

GUARD: Next stop is Bologoye!
Bologoye, next stop.

(MAN SHOUTlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

(EXHALES)

Can l be of service to you?

Why are you leaving Moscow?

What else can l do?

l have to be where you are.

Stop, that's enough.

Go back to Kitty.

No.

This is wrong.

lt makes no difference.

You have no right.

lt makes no difference.

You must forget me.

lf you're a good man,
you'll forget everything.

And you? Will you forget?
(WHlSTLE BLOWlNG)

Yes.

(PEOPLE TALKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY)

ls Serozha all right?

Oh, is that all l get?

Yes, he's quite well.

Were you a success?

l?

Oh, Dolly and Stiva.

Yes, l think so.

l'll announce myself.
Very good, sir.

Vronsky.
The master himself.

Baroness, coffee from
the new coffee pot
for Count Vronsky.

l'll be off home
if l'm in the way.

You're at home
where you are, Baroness.

Oh ! Oh, Pierre, you never say
such pretty things to me.

We were just
discussing my husband.

He won't divorce me, you see,
and do you know why?

No.
Because he likes eating
off my family silver.

l want to bring an action.

Just because l'm supposed
to be unfaithful,

l don't see why l have to
eat off Pierre's crockery.

Look at it!

lt's my crockery.

Oh !

PETRlTSKY: How was Moscow?

Provincial.

Thank you for my presents.

(SHUSHlNG)

l'm writing to Dolly
and to Kitty.

You are good.

Time for bed.

(SlGHS)

What are they saying in Moscow
about the new statute?

What new statute?

The new statute
l carried in Council.

No one mentioned it.

Really?

Oh.

Here, it caused
quite a sensation.

(WOMAN EXCLAlMlNG EXClTEDLY)

(CHUCKLES)

Princess Betsy.

Cousin.

l didn't know
you were an art lover.

l'm prepared to be one.

(DOG FARTlNG)

Countess Lydia tells me

you haven't been to
one of her evenings
since you returned.

The last one was to
meet a missionary.

The one before that

was for a lecture on
the union of the Greek
and Roman Churches.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, l'm sorry.

l know you're fond of her.

Come on, or we'll be late.

(FANFARE)

Here's the thing, Vronsky.

A posting's come up,
and there's a promotion
in it for you.

Thank you, sir.

ln the garrison in Tashkent.

Tashkent? But. . .

l would like to
stay in Peter, sir,
if you don't mind.

Well, l don't mind.

But your mother. . .
lt's her idea.

(APPLAUSE)

Your husband is a saint,

and we must all cherish him
for Russia's sake.

You didn't come
to my dinner.

l had to see my
Commanding Officer.

Well, "she"
didn't come either.

l do hope you can
come on afterwards.

Father Kristof's report
on the Chinese mission
will be with lantern slides.

l'm expected
at the Tverskoys'.

No doubt.

But l'm sure that
Princess Betsy
can wait for you.

(CROWD APPLAUDlNG)

Yes, in fact,
l don't think
l will go to Betsy's.

You're caught.

l'm afraid
l'm becoming
quite ridiculous.

(BAND PLAYlNG)

(EXHALES)

Now, there's
a phenomenon.

Look, Anna's shadow
has arrived before Anna.

l'm Anna's friend.

But all this making up
one's mind to it in public

is not polite to
a distinguished man
like Karenin.

ln my opinion,
Karenin is a fool
and Anna is the best of us.

And we all love you for your
contrary opinions, Princess.

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

Alexei, you look desperate.

lt's not attractive.

l'm losing hope.

Hope of what?

Persuading a virtuous woman
to break her marriage vows?

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

No, you're right.

She won't come.

(WOMEN LAUGHlNG)

He's gone.

But you're just in time
for the surprise.

(EXHALES)

(FlRE CRACKERS WHOOSHlNG)

Turn around !

VRONSKY: May l have the honor
of bringing you an ice?

(ALL APPLAUDlNG)

lces are being served.

l would prefer
to try a cigarette.

(COUGHlNG)

Courage.

l'll try another one
sometime.

When?

Where?

Just as l was thinking
your manners
had improved since Moscow.

You behaved badly.

Very badly.

And who was
responsible for that?

Give me a cup of tea.

How nice!

Alexei Alexandrovich
has arrived.

(GlGGLES)

l'm not sure my nerves
can stand another Alexei
at this moment.

(GlGGLES)

Were you glad
to see me or not?

So the Schuzburgs
asked us to dinner.

The sauce was said to have
cost a thousand rubles,
and it was ghastly.

l gave them a sauce
that cost 85 kopeks
and it was a triumph.

(LAUGHlNG)

This must stop.

You make me feel
as if l were guilty
of something.

What do you want me to do?

l want you to go to Moscow
and beg Kitty to forgive you.

No, that's not
what you want.

Moscow?
l can do better than that.

Tonight l refused a posting
to Tashkent.

l can change my mind,
and you'll never see me again.

lf you have any thought
for me, you will
give me back my peace.

l have no peace to give.

There can be no peace for us.

Only misery
or the greatest happiness.

BETSY: Your husband
is impossible.
(GASPS)

His opinions are all wrong,

but he talks so brilliantly,
he wins every argument.

(CHUCKLES)
What?

l called to take you home.

No, l'm staying.

Send the carriage
back for me.

Of course.

(CHUCKLES)

(DOOR OPENS)

Do you want me
to go to Tashkent?

So l'll go to Tashkent.

No!

l don't want you to go.

KARENlN: l stayed up
to talk to you.

What about?

lt's late.

Where's Annushka?

l sent her off.

Well.

lf you want to talk,
but we should go to bed.

l must warn you
about something.

Warn me?

Oh, it's really
rather late.

l wish to warn you that
you may, inadvertently

by indiscretion
and carelessness,

give the world occasion
to talk about you.

l am not a committee.

Please say
what you want to tell me.

You and Count Vronsky
attracted attention tonight.

You don't like it
when l don't talk to people,

and you don't like it
when l do.

l didn't notice
anything myself,

but l saw
everyone else noticed.

l consider jealousy
to be insulting to you
and degrading to me.

l have no right
to inquire into your feelings.

They concern
only your conscience.

But it's my duty
to remind you that we are
bound together by God,

and this bond
can only be broken
by a crime against God.

l have nothing
to say to you.

And you have a son.

And l'm tired.

lf l am wrong,
l ask your pardon.

l don't know
what you're talking about,

and it's really
too late for this.

Excuse me, please.

(SOFTLY) Too late.

(MOANS)

(MOANlNG)

Oh, God ! Oh, forgive me!

lt's the end of everything.

l've got nothing left now
except you, remember that.

How could l not remember?

You're my happiness.

Happiness?

You murdered my happiness.

Murderer.

(MOANlNG)

Go on.

Yes.

Go on. Murderer.

Murderer.

OBLONSKY: Look out,
here they come.

Oh, bad luck.

(CHUCKLlNG)

Potage aux choux a la russe!

OBLONSKY: Agafia, if you
opened up in Moscow,

the l'Angleterre
would go out of business.

(BOTH LAUGH)

lt's true.

OBLONSKY: Do you
want news of Moscow?
Babylon? No.

Oh, you're right,
what do you care?

You love the country,
you've got it.

You love agriculturing,
and, Lord knows,
you've got that.

You love shooting,
you've got that.

You've got everything
you want.
Ha!

All right, go on, then.

Have you stopped
stealing bread rolls?

Ballet girl, Oriental type.
How can l help it?

How is. . .

How are the Shcherbatskys?

You mean Kitty.

ls she engaged now?
No.

Vronsky went back
to St. Petersburg.

Huh.

Kitty will be seeing
Dolly at Ergoshovo
in the summer.

You could. . .

Oh, yes, as if l had
time in the summer.

And l've got extra land
at Kashin this year
for the haymaking.

Kashin? That's on the
Ergoshovo road, isn't it?

Couldn't you see Kitty
when she's there?

Especially, not then.
l humiliated myself once.

Oh, damn you, Kostya.
You love Kitty.

You love Kitty
and you can't forgive her

because, first, you funked it,
and then you bungled it.

And then you ran away
from an 1 8-year-old girl

who was made
a fool of by a uniform.

lt's not you
l feel sorry for,
it's Kitty.

Her heart told her no.

(SPUTTERS)

Did you come to shoot snipe
or criticize me?

(GASPS)

(CRYlNG)

Well, don't hold him
like a parcel.

Oh ! lt's Aunt Kitty,
darling.

(COOlNG)

Doesn't he make you ashamed
of dwelling on your troubles?

l have no troubles.

That man wasn't worth
the tears, believe me.

l don't care about him.
l don't even
think about him, or her.

Except to hate her.

Then we'll never
speak of it again.

There are better men
waiting for you.

Stiva says. . .

Kitty, my lamb,
did Konstantin. . .

What has Levin
got to do with it?

Anyway,
l'll never get married.

The whole business of it
has become disgusting to me.

And look
what it's done for you.
Why do they call it love?

(CRYlNG)

Because it's love.

ANNA: l want you to,
l don't care about it.

VRONSKY: You should care.

Anyway, someone
might be watching.

(CHUCKLES)

But l'm damned, anyway.

l'm not. l'm blessed.

You love me.
Yes.

Only me.
No.

Apart from Frou-Frou?
Yes.

But me more
than your horse?

Yes.

Are you happy?

Yes.

And you love me?

Yes.

How much?

This much.

This much?

Yes.

This much?
Yes.

And this much?

Yes.

This much?

(MOANS) Yes.

This much?
And this much?

So, this is love.

This.

(DOOR OPENS)

Countess.

l thought you would be
at Peterhof now.

l've come from there.

l'm distressed
that you haven't taken
your usual house this year.

Anna wanted a change.

Nearer to Princess Betsy
at Tsarskoe Selo.

The guards are in summer camp
at Tsarskoe.

Alexei Alexandrovich,

forgive me, but. . .

You are too tolerant.
Your wife is. . .

Oh ! ls this about my wife?

My wife is beyond reproach.

She is, after all, my wife.

(MEN SlNGlNG FOLK SONG)

Alyosha! Alyosha!

(LAUGHlNG)

A message from Maman.

Her friend Princess Sorokina
has a house here

and a virgin daughter.
(LAUGHS)

Well, that's not
part of the message,

but they'll all be
at the races

and you're expected
to supper afterwards.

Gentlemen ! Gentlemen !

l give you the regiment!

ALL: The regiment!

(MEN SlNGlNG FOLK SONG)

l heard you turned down
a promotion.

That was Maman interfering.

Yes.

And now she's come up
with a princess for you.

(LAUGHS)

Alexei, we're brothers,
so don't take offense.

Getting married
puts the pack on your back.

lt leaves your hands free
for climbing the ladder.

Getting serious
about a married woman

is like carrying
your pack in your arms.

So, they talk about me.

l'm leaving, Sasha.

An assignation?

Come on, l'll introduce you.

(NElGHlNG)

Beautiful.

A man would
come to no harm.

FERGUSON: Do you think
you'll win tomorrow?

VRONSKY: Makhotin's
Gladiator is favorite.

Sixteen hands.

Frou-Frou looks dainty
beside him.

But she's got heart.

Haven't you, my darling?

(SNORTS)

Anna.

Alexei !

What is it?

l couldn't bear
not to see you
before the race.

What were you
thinking about?

Tell me.

l'm pregnant.

Oh, my love.

Well, love was
never a game to us.

Here's an end
to living in corners,

existing day to day on lies.

(CHUCKLES) Yes.

Now we can be together.

How can we, Alexei?

Tell Karenin everything.

Do you think my husband
will make you a present of me?

Leave him.

Leave him
and be your mistress?

Yes, run away.

l would never
see my son again.

The laws are made by
husbands and fathers.

What, then?

l'll never forgive myself
for your unhappiness.

Unhappiness?

l'm like a starving beggar
who's been given food.

l, unhappy?

No.

This is my happiness.

ANNA: Serozha!

Serozha,
l'm coming to get you !

Where are you?

Serozha!

Where are you?

How are you, young man?

Your tutor doesn't seem
to be in evidence.

Yah !

(CHUCKLlNG)

Alexei.

You got away at last.
Can you stay?

Why?

Go and find Vasily Lukich.

l have to change.

Princess Betsy
is sending her trap for me.

Would you like to come?
She's taking me
to watch the race.

Races, surely.

No, l'll come on later.
Then l must get back to town.

The danger of injury.

But l. . .

What?

l'm saying l think there's
a value in manly sport,
for the military.

l don't understand.

ln my opinion,
it's not the sport itself.
lt's the spectacle.

lt's making
a cruel spectacle out of. . .

What are you talking about?

l have to tell you. . .
Yes.

l have to tell you,
you behaved improperly today.

How is that?

By making plain your feeling
when one of the riders fell.

Your conduct was improper.

lt must not occur again.
l have said it before.

You will say my concern
is unnecessary and ridiculous.

You are my wife.

l'm wrong to think that.

Yes?

Perhaps l was mistaken. . .

No.

You were not mistaken.

l love him.

l am his mistress.

Do what you like to me.

(THUDDlNG)

Wait. Please, move away.

l will not have a scandal.
Therefore, you will not
see this man again.

You will behave in a way
that nothing is known
against you

by society or by the servants.

ln return, you will keep
the privileges of a wife,
and the duties.

Tomorrow you will return home.
That is all.

Are you hurt?

l'm your mistress.

He thinks
l can give you up
and go on living.

No. You cannot.

Time for bed?

(DOOR OPENS)

lt was pleasant to hear
you being congratulated
on your husband.

Not that l care

Alexei, l can't. l'm sorry.

Oh.

But l'm his wife, now.

l'm having his child.

Tell me what l did
to deserve this.

(WOMAN SlNGlNG lN RUSSlAN)

Halt!

How many mowers
is it, Theodore?

(SlGHS) Forty-two, Master.

ln your father's time,
it was work
for two days for 30 men.

Though he never
picked up a scythe himself.

The men don't
like me for it.

They like
what they're used to.

lt settles me.

How is that, Master?

When l'm mowing,
l don't ask myself
why l'm here.

You're here to be
Master Konstantin Dmitrievich.

As it's always been,
by the grace of God.

My father owned you,
Theodore.

Owned you like chattels
to be bought and sold.

Was that
by the grace of God?

lt was.

That's my youngest
you were looking at, there.

His young life is perilous now
since the freedom came
and work must be found.

They look happier
than l've ever been.

ls it living simply

(CARRlAGE RATTLlNG)

l'm expected.

No.

l will not live like this.

This waiting
for hour after hour,

not knowing
when l'll ever see you again.

Sorry.

lt's my demon.
l can't help it.

You wrote that you were ill.

Don't worry,
it won't be for long.

Stop.
No, it's true.

l was told it in a dream.

There.
lt was only a bad dream.

Yes, and l'm only
going to die
having your baby.

That's all nonsense.
Tell me it is.

Tell me it is.

You love me, only me.

Your note said
your husband would be out.

He was late.
lt serves him right.

And you. . .

Why do you call him
my husband?

He isn't my husband,
he's a clock.

But it was awkward. My honor.
You made an agreement.

Do you think of your honor
when you're sharing whores
with your Colonel?

Your demon again?

l'll be glad to die
before you start to hate me.

Anna.

Put your hand there.

You can feel him move.

But l'm afraid l've lost
the Minister's attention.

Who is here?

Only Madame,
Your Excellency.

l wanted to see him because. . .

l do not wish to know
why a woman
wants to see her lover.

What are you doing?

l want his letters!

(GROANS)

l am going to Moscow tomorrow,
and then the provinces

with a commission
to investigate conditions
among the Jews and gypsies,

whose conditions
l infinitely prefer to my own.

l will not return to
this house until divorce has
driven you into the street.

Meanwhile, my son
will be sent to live
with my eldest sister.

No, Alexei, please.
Please, leave me Serozha!

Do you think
l would let you have my son?

You are depraved.
A woman without honor.

l thank God
the curse of love
is lifted from me.

l need your advice.

(CHUCKLES)

Come on, come on !
Yes, yes.

Right, after you,
after you.

Are we late?
Of course, you're late.

l'm Countess Nordston.

We nearly met at the
Shcherbatskys' last winter.

PRlNCE SHCHERBATSKY:
Come into the fold.

Come on.

(CHUCKLES)

You've been waiting for me.
Forgive me.

Kitty is here.

Konstantin, what a long time
since we saw each other.

Since you saw me,
but l saw you
not so long ago.

When?

You were driving
to Ergoshovo.

l was at Kashin
for the haymaking.

Oh, but why didn't you. . .

l'm so glad to see you.

You're just the same.

l hope not.

l was young and silly
in those days.

Months and months ago.

And you haven't changed.

No. l haven't.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHlNG)

Permit me to announce,
um, soup Marie-Louise carp

with asparagus
and roast beef.

l went to the market
in person.

An extra place.

l've come to tell you
our connection
must be severed.

l'm going to
divorce your sister.

Divorce?

(GASPS)

Oh, dear me, what are you
talking about? (CHUCKLES)

Well, don't be in a hurry.
Stay to dinner.

And later,
you can talk it
over with Dolly.

Prince Oblonsky,
everything is over
between our families.

Alexei, divorce is one thing.
Dinner is quite another.

PRlNCESS SHCHERBATSKY:
You Petersburgers think
yourselves so de bon ton

compared with dull,
old-fashioned Moscow.

But we know
how to do things.

Only the other day,

l hear Vasya Pryachnikov
fought a duel with Kvitsky
and killed him.

Well, what. . .

What was the challenge about?

Pryachnikov's wife,
naturally.

PRlNCE SHCHERBATSKY:
lt was a matter of honor,
defending a woman's honor.

Sounds like barbarism to me.
What if the lover
had killed the husband?

Would that have preserved
the wife's honor, too?

Still, not many of us can say
our lover died for love.

Love?

"Thou shall not covet
thy neighbor's wife."

Would you die for love,
Konstantin Dmitrievich?

l would. But not for
my neighbor's wife.

(LAUGHS)

An impure love
is not love to me.

To admire another man's wife
is a pleasant thing,

but sensual desire indulged
for its own sake is greed,

a kind of gluttony,

and a misuse
of something sacred,
which is given to us

so that we may choose
the one person with whom
to fulfill our humanness.

Otherwise,
we might as well be cattle.

Ah ! An idealist!

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

But she will be
nobody's wife.

She'll be ruined.

l tried to save her.
She chose ruin.

Alexei Alexandrovich.

Look at me.

You will have no peace of mind
until you forgive her.

lt was Anna
who taught me that.

l do not wish to forgive.

l'm not a cruel man.

l've never hated anyone.

But l hate her
with all my soul

for all the wrong
she has done me.

OBLONSKY: Now, it is
your turn to play us
something, Countess.

COUNTESS NORDSTON:
l thought you'd never ask.

Very good.

Since we last met,

there is something l have
often wanted to ask you.

What is that?

LEVlN: This.

Do. . .

Not. . .

Did.

Did not.

The last word is "never."

l know what it says.

Then.

But now?

Can you forgive

and forget?

l never stopped.

(MAN BLOWlNG NOSE)

(CHURCH BELL DlNGlNG)

Why doesn't he come?

He is kind.
He will forgive me.

Her fever is higher.

l want Alexei.
Why doesn't he come?

Give me some water.
No, l mustn't.

lt isn't good
for my little girl.

Or let her have a nurse, yes.

Don't bring her here
because Alexei is coming

and it will hurt him
to see her.

He's come, my dear.
Look there.

DOCTOR: Her deliverance
is still in God's hands.

ANNA: You think
he won't forgive me
but you don't know him.

No one knows him
except me.

l'm not afraid of him, now.

l'm afraid of death, though.

Oh.

(SHUSHlNG)

You poor man.

Let him come closer.

Alexei.

Look at my husband.

He's a saint.

Take his hand.

Thank God.

(SlGHS)

You must leave now.

l promise to send for you
if she asks for you.

l don't know
what happened to me.

l forgive you.
l forgive Anna.

My soul is filled
with joy.

l will remain with her
and look after her forever.

Come now.

Look at you.

You look like
what you've become.
A laughingstock.

l fancy you will be asked
to leave the regiment.

l would like you
to go, Maman.

l'll go when l'm ready to go.

A little affair
with a married woman

puts a finishing touch
to a young man's education.

But this morbid,
selfish obsession. . .

You've publicly
humiliated yourself

and dishonored
a man who has devoted
his life to Russia.

So you'd better come back
to Moscow with me.

You're finished here.

And there was her husband,
wearing her best ball gown.

Rouge all over his face.

(GlGGLlNG)

Ma chere, le scandale!

But l'd better tell you
some regimental news.

Who is here?

FOOTMAN: Princess Elisabeth
Federovna Tverskaya,
Your Excellency.

ANNA: l don't want to see him.

But surely your husband
wouldn't stop. . .

BETSY: l'm so glad
to see you.

You look feverish.

We've been talking too much,
so l'm going.

Princess Betsy
came to tell me. . .

l don't want to hide
anything from you.

Count Vronsky asked
to come to say goodbye.
He's going away.

l've told him
that l can't receive him.

Well, goodbye,
my treasure.

(DOOR CLOSES)

l agree with you.

As he is going away,
there's no need
for Count Vronsky to come.

l just said so,
so there's no need
to repeat it.

But it is for you
to decide.

Yes, and l decided.

Then l am very glad that. . .

That we agree,
so perhaps we can stop
talking about it.

Of course.
ls there anything
l can do for you?

Yes, can you please,
please, please stop
cracking your knuckles?

l'm a bad woman.

But l can't breathe.

Your kindness,
which l can't repay,
and your forgiveness. . .

You begged me
for my forgiveness.

But l didn't die,
and now l have to
live with it.

Then what? What do you want?

Do you know what you want?
Do you want to see
Count Vronsky?

(SOFTLY)
Not to say goodbye.

l can't hear.

Not to say goodbye.

You would be lost.
lrretrievably lost.

You would have no position.

And worse, if we divorce,
you would be the guilty party.

That means you cannot
legally remarry.

Your union with Count Vronsky
would be illegitimate,

as would your daughter,
who now has the protection
of my name.

And this is what
you want?

lt would be a sin
to help you destroy yourself.

You forget something.

Count Vronsky and l
love each other.

And this love sanctifies
a criminal folly?

All l know
is that l sent him away

and it's as if
l'd shot myself
through the heart!

l see.

And what of Serozha?

l would die for him,

but l won't live
like this for him.

When he knows of love,
he will forgive me.

Then l must choose
the smaller sin.

Vronsky has robbed me
of my cloak and l will
give him my coat.

No, l. . .

My darling. My darling.

You look so pale.

Oh, my darling.

We'll go south
to the sea air and sunshine.

ls it all right?
Sit down a minute.

l want to see everything.

(CLEARS THROAT)

A moment.

And now l'm doing
kitchenmaid's work

because Nadya's parents

And who can blame them?
lt's indecent.

(LEVlN CLEARS THROAT)

lt's Konstantin.

Yes, good.

The doctor here is useless.

Get me one from Moscow.

Where did you go?

l couldn't leave him.

Yes. My wife. . .

You can't stay now.

l will nurse him
with Agafia.

The woman will find
somewhere in the village.

You won't see her.

She knows it is impossible
to meet you.

lt is a torment to me
that l've brought you
under the same roof

as this unfortunate. . .
As this fallen. . .

And in your precious,
delicate condition.

Oh, Kostya.

Good. A clean nightshirt
and sheets.

A towel and a clean
pail of warm water.

Wait.

And bring

in the outside pocket
of my handbag.

She's still asleep.

Should l take your coat?

Are you feeling

l'm not sleeping.

l can send out

Yes.

Why are you in the dark?

Yashvin is going to call.
You remember him.

Are you going out?

To where?

To whom?

What's the matter?

l didn't know
what happened to you.

But l told you
yesterday. My brother.

Does it take all day
to meet your brother?

Does he need you
more than l do?

What's happened?

Well, Alexander agreed
to everything.

Mother's house in Moscow
will go to him,

and the country estate
will be our new home.

As soon as the divorce.

Karenin hasn't answered
your letter yet?

You're the very first
person to call on me
since our return.

l received a note
from Princess Betsy

asking me to call on her
between 6:30 and 8:00.

Or was it 7:00?

But perhaps you'll meet
at the opera tonight.

l would love to be there
if l could get a box.

Madame, your box
is number four.

You'll find me there
with Princess Myagkaya.

Will you come, Vronsky?

Well. . .
l see why Alexei
is so fond of you.

You know you can't
go to the theater.

Annushka!
For heaven's sake.

A bath ! l'll come in
and choose a dress.

Anna, l implore you.

l'm not ashamed of who l am
or what l've done.

Are you ashamed for me?

Why don't you book
a room at the hotel?

Aren't we together?

Have you changed towards me?

lt's because l love you
and care about you.

lf that's the case,
then l don't know why you
aren't coming with me.

That would make it worse.

You're afraid.

Well, l'm not.

(CROWD MURMURlNG)

(WOMEN GASP)

Should we visit,
or stay put?

Stay put.

Minister! Congratulations.

Come in for a moment.

PRlNCESS MYAGKAYA:
Princess Sorokina
and her daughter.

They're from Moscow, neighbors
of Count Vronsky's mother.

Quite well off. No sons.
She's a widow.

My dear,
l'm a sales catalog.

Alexei.

You'll come up
to see us afterwards?

l'll talk to Varya.

Will you call on Anna?

Oh. Alexei. l'm fond of. . .

For God's sake!

Anna isn't a criminal.

l'd call on her if she'd
only broken the law.

But she broke the rules.

PRlNCESS MYAGKAYA:
Who has made the decor?
Haven't we got a program?

Colonel, would you
be so kind?

YASHVlN: Of course.

Please, l would be honored
if you would take mine.

Thank you. How very. . .

(SOFTLY)
lt's a disgrace.

Hush, dear.
A common courtesy.

Everyone's looking.

Let them look!
Fetch my cloak.

What are we coming to?

lt's an insult to decency.
Take me home.

Hush. l beg you, my dear.
lt was only a word or two.

l have a word or two
for some people

one didn't expect
to be rubbing shoulders with.

She has a nerve,
flaunting herself
like a slut in society.

Yes, why don't you?

Rescue her
and put your seal
on the fiasco.

BETSY: Alexei,

you see why
she must divorce.

Marriage will
solve everything.
When will it be?

As far as l'm concerned,
she's my wife.

As you saw, she isn't.

We're going to Moscow,
then to my place
in the country.

That sounds
like a good idea.

But, for a day or two,
Anna will be at home.

Then. . .

l'll say goodbye now.

Well, you had
an excellent night.

Does your mother want you
to marry the widow
or the child?

Either one.
Don't joke about it.

lf you loved me,
you would have locked me in
to stop me going !

Yes, it was my fault.

l won't sleep.

l know how
to make you sleep.

(WOMEN CHATTlNG)

Anna, l am very glad
to see you.

Are you well?
How is your little one?

Stiva wanted to invite you
and Count Vronsky
to the house,

but it's impossible.

No, l understand.

No. No, you don't.

Kitty and her husband
are with us.

She's in Moscow
to have the baby.

Kitty! Tell her
how pleased l am.

Perhaps l'll wait
a year or two.

Love.

Yes, love.

Don't you disapprove of me
for what l've done?

No. l wish l'd done the same.

But no one asked me.

Well, l wouldn't have been
brave enough.

Stiva, you know,

he doesn't change.

Like all men, l suppose.

(BABY CRYlNG lN DlSTANCE)

l had an inspiration.

Why do we have to wait here?

Why can't we wait
in the country?

l don't want to hear
any more about a divorce
or think about it.

Good, l'm bored here.
When should we go?

lf l bore you here,
l'll bore you in the country.

l didn't say you bore me,
Moscow bores me.
When should we go? Tomorrow?

l can't be ready by tomorrow.

The day after, then.
lf you like.

No, wait, that's Sunday.
l have to see Maman.

That's 20 minutes away
on the train.

You could go
to see her tomorrow.

Or was it that you wanted
to spend Sunday
with Princess Sorokina?

Please.
Don't spoil everything.

l can't see Maman tomorrow
because she won't have read
the papers she has to sign.

ln that case,
let's not bother.

l'll leave on Sunday
or not at all.
That's absurd.

lt's absurd to you
because you have no
understanding of my life here.

Anna.
No, you've stopped
loving me.

You've given up
everything for me and it's
turned you against me.

Why lie about it?
Stop!

l put off our departure
for a day or two and you
tell me l don't love you.

Because l've been living
off your love and there's
none left.

So this is over. Finished.

l'm sorry.

l don't mind when we go.

l'll telegraph Maman.
We'll go on Sunday.

l'll do anything you want.

You should leave me.
l don't want to.
l love you.

Why?

You can't ask "why"
about love.

So, will you be all packed?

l'll be out today
making the arrangements.

ls that your way
of telling me you'll be
at your mother's

with that simpering
little princess?

No. l'll be at my lawyer's,
waiting for some documents.

Then l'm having dinner
to say goodbye
to old comrades.

l know what that means.

My God, this is unendurable!

l can invite them here,
if you like.

Thank you, but if l'm not fit
to dine in society,
l won't eat with the band.

Who was the telegram from?

l didn't show you because
Stiva keeps telegraphing
what we already know.

Karenin promises nothing,
but will consider. . .

l told you l don't care
about the divorce,
so why hide the telegram?

ls there anything
