Sense and Sensibility

Angela Bennett’s camera captures the genteel desperation of the Dashwood sisters as they navigate a society where fortune dictates fate. Elinor’s pragmatic wisdom and Marianne’s impassioned idealism clash and converge in a tale of romantic missteps and societal constraints. With Austen’s wit intact, Bennett’s 1995 adaptation of "Sense and Sensibility" reveals the sisters’ struggles to reconcile their hearts’ desires with the cold calculus of social hierarchy and financial security, all under the genteel facade of Regency England.
