Anna Karenina

This picture just cracks me up. Poor FuzzyFace there. NO ONE CARES, FUZZY FACE, WE'VE GOT KEIRA IN OUR SIGHTS.

And...FACE

In fairness, it's hard not to be distracted by this face. She looks so pretty. This bodice could have VERY easily gone all I Stuck Toilet Paper All Over My Boobs, and yet I think it's lovely. Ethereal. Very Queen of the Period Piece.

I just think this is really, really pretty. Jude's vest is a tiny hair too short -- I can see both the bottom of his tie, and his shirt -- and yet HE TOO is working this I'm In A Period Piece look. It helps that I really love in in the Sherlock adaptations, perhaps even more than I love RDJ. He's just so adorably long-suffering in them.

Plus, he's growing back into his looks. You remember how he was painfully gorgeous in Talented Mr Ripley, and then he started looking like a serial killer and then he started crawling back to Charmsville? Thank God he's finally gotten there.

Well Played, Keira Knightley and Jude Law
When I read that Keira Knightley was going to play the titular role in Anna Karenina, I must admit I rolled my eyes and said something like, "because there is no one else in the world who can play the lead role in a period drama," and then said something else like, "I just hope UNCLENCHES HER JAW," and then I ate a cookie and forgot about it. But, as per usual, I have come around. For one thing, K-Squared is traditionally excellent in Joe Wright movies -- she even won me over in his Pride and Prejudice adaption, and the Colin Firth version is OBVIOUSLY my spirit animal. For another, the trailer makes the movie look like it will either fantastically sweeping or sweepingly ridiculous (it is not subtle) and honestly, I can work in either of those directions. She and Jude actually look rather restrained in it, especially compared to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's mustache, and she also looks beautiful. As she does here.
