The thesis analyses three film adaptations of Count Leo Tolstoy%s novel Anna Karenina: Clarence Brown%s American film from the year 1935, the Russian film made by Aleksandr Zarkhi in the year 1967, and Joe Wright%s British adaptation from the year 2012). The thesis tries to present the cultural conditions in which these films have been made and the accession towards their making. It also seeks elements in films that stand out, and observes their connections with the literary original. It presents dilemmas which can be found while researching film adaptations, and the relation between literature and film.
