Sense & Sensibility
|
I get most of my BBC dvds from Amazon UK, since they're released earlier there and usually MUCH LESS expensive. I receive them very very quickly (same shipping time as when I order from here with free shipping), and I couldn't be happier.
However, my version doesn't have Miss Austen Regrets with it. That's a shame, because I'm wondering if I'll ever be able to see it! This version of Sense & Sensibility, though, is every bit as good than the 1995 Kate Winslet/Emma Thompson version. Except that nobody, ever, can be as good as Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon, this version is thoroughly entertaining. And, this Colonel Brandon was really very good. Had Alan Rickman not played the same role earlier, I would have been completely satisfied with this actor's portrayal and demeanor.
The story follows the novel quite closely. Lucy is portrayed a bit differently, but not much, and it works very well. Both Marianne and Elinor are delightful to watch. The acting is superb. Edward, coincidentally (or maybe purposely) is almost a dead-ringer for Hugh Grant's Edward.
Where the other version was awash in saturated colors, this version is a bit more subdued-- yet Marianne is still just as luminous and the countryside just as lush.
This is gorgeously filmed and a complete delight from start to finish. I wouldn't recommend one version over the other-- I'd get both and watch them both. This film is definitely recommended.
