The Amherst Cinema and the Jones Library have joined forces
to create a new series titled "Books Into Films." For
each title chosen, the Jones Library will hold a discussion, and the
Amherst Cinema will show the film.
The first selection in this series is "Anna
Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy.
* The 2012 film version of "Anna Karenina"
starring Academy Award-nominated actress Keira Knightley (Rated R; 130
minutes) will be playing at the Amherst Cinema from Friday, November 30,
2012 through Thursday, December 6, 2012. Click here for more
