Sense And Sensibility (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #47 extract: Sense And Sensibiliyty (1995)

Love sucks, love hurts... except sometimes it doesn't. And maybe that's something worth suffering for. 

It is undeniable that Ang Lee brings Austen's iconic book to the screen beautifully, directing for the voicing of photogenie and allowing his players put on a masterclass. I often look past acting, actors and actresses, but Thompson in particular carries so much and releases it with such class and control, that I'd be a fool not to mention performances. With the words of a novel stripped from this story, it becomes entirely dependent on the space between the lens and actors, and Lee and his cast has that space ring with emotion and unspoken words. One of the very best book adaptations I've ever seen.
