Keira Knightley is Flare Magazine’s December cover girl. Decked out in winter white for the photo, she talked about her upcoming film, ‘Anna Karenina.’

“Tom Stoppard [who wrote the screenplay] said at the beginning [that] this is a thesis on love, and I said ‘Ummm. Er. Okay.’ And I think he’s quite right. Not just the sparkly bit that we’re sold, the fun, the hopefully great sex, but it’s also looking at the loneliness, the pain, the jealous madness that is all a part of that.”
