Artisanaworks What outstanding picks (ALL of them) to illustrate a creative infusion of luxe and refined elements reminiscent of this bygone era and lifestyle into a current framework. The set design in Anna Karenina, as reflected in this post, must have been outstanding. Every example, here is primo!...and delicious!!

Dave Conrad I loved the movie! I'm glad someone else was paying as much attention to the decor as I was! There were so many design and costume innovations. I don't know where to start! I loved the blue damask and the way the men tied their bows.

Vanessa Brunner Eek! This makes me SO excited to see it. Great job Becky!

Rough Linen I saw the trailer and earmarked it for possible viewing even though Konstantin's moustache irritated me almost beyond endurance - still, I suppose it's meant to.

newmouse Your post inspired me to see the movie. It was gorgeous. For me the standouts were her jewelry and that blue damask. Thanks!

JAN MOYER A sigh of love........when your backyard picnic looks like that photo... I am comin on over!

bijouxjujubee Anna Karenina was not what I expected! Kind of a musical without the singing. LOVED the costumes and sets. The dancing was also unexpectedly different. Glad you mentioned this movie! :)

Rough Linen For those of us who love decor and costume, try Heavenly Vintage on Netflix. It mislaid its plot, but Beatrix Pasztor created mouthwatering tableaux.

Becky Harris What did you all think of the way they used the stage set strategy for so many scenes? I found it a bit disconcerting and claustrophobic at first, but then it made the scenes out in the country at Konstantin's such a relief, and one could see why he'd left it all to go live there. There were some really interesting videos posted on the Focus Films site about the set design I watched before I wrote this ideabook, but the site seems to be down at the moment. Check it out later if you have time, hopefully it will be up and running by then! http://focusfeatures.com/anna_karenina/

carolegilbert The most beautiful movie I have ever seen

psterino Loved the movie! Afterwards, I realized the sets parallel the scenes I create in my mind when reading a book such as A.K. I thought it was brilliant, and agree, it's one of the most beautiful movies ever..
