Sense and Sensibility

Yeah.

Sense and Sensibility, not just because it is a period drama, Jane Austen, which I feel, you know, every woman of a certain age just loves.

It is also written, the screenplay was written by Diana Reid, who is an Australian.

She's a Culture Club Chats alumni.

I know it's like another Jane Austen adaption.

I think it's also funny that there's like some new shots or like a trailer from Dolly Alderton's Pride and Prejudice adaptation that's like come out the same week.

So I'm kind of like, wait, which one is it? What's going on? But I've not seen or read Sense and Sensibility before.

So this will be like my first read.

10 that I'm... trying to figure out whether I should revamp it or not.

So right now I have The Odyssey, La Bola, Wild Horse 9, The Debut, The Invite, Sense and Sensibility, Obsession, Fjord, I Play Rocky, and Project Hail Mary.

We matched 9 for 10.

You have Sense and Sensibility in still.

That's interesting.

I mean, that all of a sudden movie might get in, but I doubt that the actress will.

Stop it.

I don't have enough space for all these movies.

For us tonight to film reviews, we'll be looking at The Lost Children of Tuam, produced by Liam Neeson and starring Monica Dolan as fearless campaigner Catherine Corliss.

Is there anything to be said for another Jane Austen adaptation? We'll be running the rule over Sense and Sensibility, which features significant Irish interest with Katrina Balfe and Fiona Shaw.

Yet more shameless parochialism, this time with Hope, the Korean action horror film that caused a stir at Cannes and features an unrecognisable Michael Fassbender as a bloodthirsty alien.

And we love a European auteur on Arena, especially the Danish ones.

As I say, hard to be dramatic without melodrama, but they get it just so right throughout with everything.

Okay.

Tara, you're the one who has seen Sense and Sensibility.

Do we need another adaptation or are Jane Austen adaptations like James Bond's Every Generation Gets Their Own?

And that happens at one hour and fourteen minutes into this two-hour film.

And as it is the twentieth of September, we are going to be watching Sense and Sensibility from nineteen ninety-five, directed by Ang Lee and starring Emma Thompson.

So this was a movie that I saw probably from the date.

I probably didn't see it when it first was released on DVD or home video at all, but I'm pretty sure it might've been like, "Hey, I gotta catch up on some movies that I haven't seen before that I should have,” when I started working for Blockbuster.

stay there forever and i yeah people constantly reference it to me

Yeah, we were on the red carpet last night for Sense and Sensibility and interviewed George Mackay.

And it's just mad, that pipeline.

Like you say, so many big stars.

Right.

And the next night he's like, so shall we do Sense and Sensibility? Yeah.

I was like, you're not done? He's like, no, I got to see it.

So we're going to make our way through Emma, Persuasion.

I mean, absolutely.

We have just silly ones.

There's a moment where Alan Rickman's character in Sense and Sensibility says, give me an occupation lest I drive myself mad.

And we say it all the time, like when we're bored or when we're getting ready to help with Thanksgiving So it's funny.

For me, I have been down lots of different avenues, but I just want to say if it's good enough for Dua Lipa's book club, your book is definitely good enough for any book club.

No, so I have been watching, I watched Sense and Sensibility, but like the original film the other day.

Oh, the

best, the best.
