After the major re-issue of Pride and Prejudice earlier this summer, it’s a real pleasure to bring another brilliant Jane Austen adaptation back to the big screen. Lose your heart and come to your senses… Sense and Sensibility is turning 30!
When grief should be the soul burden that Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughter’s carry after the passing of her husband, unfair inheritance rules mean the Dashwood fortune and estate are cruly tugged away and passed along to a male heir. This sudden shift of circumstances throws the Dashwood sisters well off course, and in these new surrounds the differences of their characters are both a test and a virtue.
In the space between the eminently practical Elinor (Emma Thompson) and the deeply passionate Marianne (Kate Winslet), a world of drama and romance unfold in one of the definitive contemporary adaptations of Jane Austen’s much-beloved work – from Oscar-winning director Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain).
