DVD review: Beloved Jane

Just came out here. A biograhical film about two years in Jane Austen's life. I had read two of her six novels a very long time ago. Seems I was too young to appreciate them properly, and hadn't known much about her life. This film certain certainly corrected that omission. Stars Anne Hathaway, Julie Walters, James McAvoy, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith. Everything about the film is perfect. Amusing, romantic, and in the end tragic. And you learn a lot.

Made me go back and take out 'Pride and Predjudice', which she was writing at the time the above film takes place. With Keira Knightly in the main role. And this time it made much more sense to me.

'Beloved Jane' is well worth seeing.
