I spent the night watching the first two hours of the BBC ANNA KARENINA:good cast, good screenplay, too much after dark indoor and outoor photography. I can't see a damned thing. I have no idea what was going on at the conclusion of the first half: domething about Anna's conviction she would die like her mother in childbirth, lots of cries for forgiveness, sounds of movement, and then it was bright enugh to see her husband try t shoot himself. What the hell? It's something to look forward to in the novel.
I love the secondary plot about Levin, who's the standin for Tolstoy, and Kitty.
