New York Times on Dance in ANNA KARENINA
At the New York Times, Gia Kourlas looks at how dance came to ANNA KARENINA and the role that choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui played in bringing Joe Wright's vision to the screen. It's a fascinating piece about how dance and cinema work together from perspectives of the director, choreographer and the actors who had to perform the choreography. For Wright, "there's something magical or poetic about physical performance that I'm drawn to -- it's almost mystical. But I also think movement in relation to words is really interesting. So it's how the two operate together."
