 ‘Anna Karenina’ is a 2012 movie, directed by Joe Wright, and based on the 1877 novel of the same name by Leo Tolstoy. Filmed in England and Russia, the film stars Keira Knightly, Jude Law, Emily Watson, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Set in late-19th Century Russian high-society, the aristocrat Anna Karenina, trapped in a loveless marriage, enters into a complicated life-changing affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. Milos Miliojevic can be seen playing the accordion on screen. The instrument used was an antique Russian-made button accordion, dated about 1890, owned by Scottish-based collector Caroline Hunt. The accordion was loaned to Shepperton Studios by Caroline, who said, “After a lot of restoration (it was in many bits) thanks to John Crawford and a kind local joiner who made a replacement fretwork grill and a lot of polish on the brass fittings, it is now looking pretty good”. Caroline Hunt has a large collection of old accordions, some of which are on public display at Bogbain Farm, Inverness IV2 5BD, Scotland. Many can be seen in the book ‘Vintage Accordions’, by Rob Howard. ‘Anna Karenina’ is released into UK and Irish cinemas on September 7th 2012, in US cinemas on November 16th, in Russia on January 3rd 2013, and other countries on various dates. |
