Semiotic Analysis of Anna Karenina Movie Posters

Abstract

A novel adapted to cinema constitutes a source for the scenario, which is considered as the main element of the film and makes the novel the popular subject of the script. Adaptation strengthens the relationship between literature and cinema, as a film is a bridge between the literary audience and the movie audience. Anna Karenina, written by Lev Tolstoy between 1876 and 1877, is one of the films adapted to the cinema in 1967, 1997 and 2012.
