This is another Masterpiece installment that I watched rather than reading the book.
I enjoyed the movie. The theme that runs throughout the book is mainly that of the constraints of marriage at the time--many of the same issues that we as a society are dealing with today but on a much smaller scale. Anna karenina has fallen in love with a man outside of her marriage, but due to the laws at the time cannot divorce without huge social expense. If she chooses to reveal her infidelities to a court, she could lose all chance she has of ever seeing her son again and not be allowed to remarry.
