I really wish someone would do an updated (film) version of this Austen book — it’s the only one not to be remade in the 1990s, so we’re stuck with this BBC miniseries version [edited to add: except now there’s a better version, from 2007!]. It’s unfortunately pretty dated looking, the actress who plays Catherine never really yanks my chain, and it’s over-the-top in its interpretations of Catherine’s horror novel reading-inspired fantasies. Worth a watch, but barely.
Didn’t really care for it. And the techno-pop score didn’t blend well with the film.
This was a decidedly weird film but it does have one cool wardrobe thing no other film does–a scene with people in bathing attire actually IN the baths. In Bath. Not in the book, but interesting, nonetheless.
