SENSE AND SENSIBILITY (BLU-RAY)

“Not another stuffy literary adaptation…an exuberant, well-crafted film that gets the audience involved on a gut level…great understanding and emotional clarity.” - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
“A witty and rollicking adaptation…classy, entirely enjoyable comic melodrama…the characters all come thoroughly alive with their ready wits and pulsing emotions.” - Todd McCarthy, Variety

“Emma Thompson proves as crisp and indispensably clever a screenwriter as she is a leading lady…Here’s a film in which sense and intelligence not only prevail but also create the most gratifying of happy endings.” - Janet Maslin, The New York Times

Blissfully romantic, witty, and shrewd, Emma Thompson’s OscarR-winning adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility (1995) is brought to the screen by director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain). Thompson also stars as the reserved Elinor Dashwood and Kate Winslet as her more impulsive younger sister, navigating a world in which love and money are often distressingly intertwined. They’re joined by the scintillating likes of Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Greg Wise, Gemma Jones, Harriet Walter, Imelda Staunton, and Hugh Laurie, wickedly funny in a small, scene-stealing role. The superlative score by Patrick Doyle is available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
