Sense and Sensibility

From acclaimed writer Andrew Davies comes this enchanting new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel about love and marriage. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve when she falls in love with the charming but unsuitable John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Elinor, sensitive to social convention, struggles to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love?

    Best version yet!

    The strength of the story is such that any film version is going to be adequate, but this one excels due to an excellent cast and a great production team. The young age of the actors playing Elinor and Marianne -closer to the age of the girls in the novel - enhances their roles. Elinor, in particular, conveys more in one glance than many actors would in an entire speech. Subtle, moving, passionate.
