From Jane Austen’s novella, the beautiful and cunning Lady Susan Vernon visits the estate of her in-laws to wait out colorful rumors of her dalliances and to find husbands for herself and her daughter. Two young men, handsome Reginald DeCourcy and wealthy Sir James Martin, severely complicate her plans.

In his delightful adaptation of Austen’s epistolary novella, Whit Stillman’s dry, acerbic comedic sensibility proves a perfect match for the iconic author’s shrewd social satire. With a brilliant cast anchored by Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny (both reuniting with Stillman for the first time since 1998’s THE LAST DAYS OF DISCO), LOVE & FRIENDSHIP is an oft-overlooked gem in the prolific canon of Austen adaptations. -PARADISE BOOK CLUB
