Theatre and Theatricality in Tom Stoppard’s Film Adaptation of Anna Karenina

Summary/Abstract: This papers aims at analysing the latest film adaptation of Tolstoy’s novel from the perspective of Tom Stoppard theatre which, in our opinion, is a combination of techniques based on dance, performance, play within a play, sometimes containing elements from the theatre of the absurd. Moreover, we will focus on theatricality as understood by Anne Ubersfled. We will neither compare the film with the book, a subject largely debated on and which should be discussed separately, nor refer to the previous film adaptations of the novel. In our approach, we will bring into play the reactions of Romanian and foreign critics to the extent to which they are relevant to our research, without any exhaustive pretences to debate on the reception of Stoppard’s film-performance.
