Audio Commentary: Director Joe Wright focuses on form and content, or as he clarifies, "the story and the way in which the story is told." It leads to a somewhat dry overview of the production, though, with frequent pauses and tidbits that beg elaboration. Still, those with affection for Anna Karenina will lap up Wright's every last insight and watch the film anew, taking note of many of the subtleties most viewers will miss the first time through. •Deleted Scenes (HD, 13 minutes): Eight deleted scenes are available, among them "Oblonsky Begs Dolly to Think of the Children," "Levin at the Bath House with Serafina," "The Mazurka," "Cleopatra Dancers & Makhotin Teases Vronsky About Anna," "The Clown," "Levin has Wedding Nerves & Kitty Tells Levin She Does Love Him," "Karenin is Visited by the Shopkeeper and Lydia" and "Anna in the Hotel at Night, Before the Station." •Adapting Tolstoy (HD, 5 minutes): In this much-too-short featurette, Wright and screenwriter Tom Stoppard discuss the adaptive challenges they faced and the manner in which they chose to tackle each one. •On Set with Director Joe Wright (HD, 5 minutes): Rather than an exhaustive "Designing the Sets" documentary, we're handed yet another brief production featurette that barely touches on the film's greatest asset: its shifting theatrical sets. •An Epic Story About Love (HD, 5 minutes): Cast and crew examine love as it's weaved into Anna Karenina. •Keira as Anna (HD, 4 minutes): Wright's muse and her performance as the title character. •Dressing Anna (HD, 3 minutes): Costume designer Jacqueline Durran and mixed-era period costume design. •Time-Lapse Photography (HD, 8 minutes): Time-lapse footage of the construction of the film's primary set. |
