I have not yet seen the movie, but the NYTimes reviewed it in last
Friday's issue and panned it, saying it was more like Calvin Klein's Anna
Karenina than Leo Tolstoy's, to lift a line from the review. That would be
too bad, as AK is one of my favorite books and I'm looking forward to
seeing the film.

Vsego dobrogo.
