Dear Blogger
Message from Oswestry Film Society
JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE: This funny and smart Anglo-French comedy gives us a 21st-century Jane Austen. Camille Rutherford is terrific as an aspiring novelist working in a Paris bookshop who wins a place on a Jane Austen writing retreat run by Austen's descendants in the English countryside. This good-feel film "glides along on Rutherford’s performance – witty, warm, keenly observant, a bit clumsy and Bridget Jones-ish, but never, not even for a moment, cringy" (Guardian review).
