Attention all Jane Austen fans--a Must see Film :)

[kitmerlot_1213]

I saw the movie Love and Friendship and it is insanely awesome.  The film is based on Austen's short story Lady Susan and it is one of the most brilliant and cleverly made movies of this year and I give major kudos to Kate Beckinsale as Susan and Tom Bennett as James Martin--TB in particular made me laugh out loud--the man needs to win all the awards in the world.  Go and see it :):)

I saw that this was coming out and wondered if it would be good. I love Austen and Kate Beckinsale so it looks like a winner. If it has your rec too, hon, then I need to see it! :)

I need to see this NOW! I heard a great NPR interview with the writer/director and, darn it, we all need more Jane Austen in our life!

The movie was clever in how it was filmed and adapted and if you haven't, read the original short story--you won't be disappointed.
