Jane Austen Wrecked My Life

Camille Rutherford is outstanding in this funny and smart French comedy. She plays Agathe, a Parisian bookshop owner (specialising in English books) who is also an aspiring writer. Agathe feels out of place and out of time but, through the intervention of a friend, wins a place on a Jane Austen writing retreat run by the author's descendants. A trip across the Channel ensues. Classic Austen themes of romance, doubt and expectation are exported to the 21st century and explored with cringe-free wit and charm as she interacts with the rest of the writing group. A perfect pre-Christmas treat. (S)
