"I've always loved history — reading about it, playing it out on-screen — because I feel it takes me out of the present; I fall into a fantasy, which I love doing," she says. Anna Karenina is her third book-to-film collaboration with director Joe Wright, once again bringing to the screen a literary masterpiece from the past.
