Anna Karenina

& Anna: Alexei, do you think nine years of marriage and children should count for nothing against an infatuation?
    Karenin: No. But sin has a price, you may be sure of that.

& Oblonsky: Oh, I’ve been hard at it.
    Levin: Hard at what, exactly?
    Oblonsky: Well, we’re overwhelmed with work.
    Levin: Paperwork...
    Oblonsky: Paperwork is the soul of Russia. Farming is only the stomach.


& Oblonsky: It’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.
    Levin: Forgive me, but I find that incomprehensible. As though, I should leave this restaurant and steal a roll from a baker’s shop.
    Oblonsky: Well, you know, a freshly baked roll.
    Levin: I’m talking about love, and you’re talking about your appetite.
    Oblonsky: Easily confused.

& Karenin: My wife is beyond reproach. She is, after all, my wife.

& Levin: How do we know what’s rightly?
    Korney: Just by knowing it. How else?
    Levin: But I believe in reason.
    Korney: Reason... Was it reason that made you choose your wife?

+ quotes on the IMDb

Σ The movie itself is remarkable. So vivid & colorful. It’s a pity the source’s so hopeless.

It was almost impossible to watch seriously after such a spoil:
«Обнаружив в её лифчике Мариинскую впадину»,
«дерганная женщина, у которой вместо подбородка ледокол „Ленин“, большую часть фильма вас почти не раздражает» и
«Анна глотает верхнюю губу Вронского с усиками включительно — от чего незамедлительно беременеет».
