Sense and Sensibility review – blue-chip cast decorates Emma Thompson’s pleasurable Austen adaptation

Thirty years later, this richly enjoyable film is back with its quality lineup including Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant alongside Thompson herself Emma Thompson won a screenplay Oscar for this buoyant, vibrant, richly enjoyable adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Released in 1995, it was directed by Ang Lee and is a movie with the pleasures of a golden age studio picture of the kind made by William Wyler. It was the second half of Thompson’s Oscar double – she won her first one in 1993 for acting in Howards End – and she is still the only person in Academy Award history to win for acting and writing. With marvellous lightness and gaiety, Thompson found a response to Austen’s comic register, expertly marrying it up to the romance, and 1995 now looks like the golden age of Austen adaptation, having also seen the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle Pride and Prejudice on television and Amy Heckerling’s Emma-homage Clueless at the movies.

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler passionately kissed on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival

Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler passionately kissed on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival. Yesterday in the Côte d'Azur, within the framework of the 75th Cannes Film Festival, the premiere of the biopic "Elvis" by Baz Luhrmann, starring a young 30-year-old actor Austin Butler, took place. By the way, after watching the film, the audience applauded for 12 minutes, but this did not break the record of Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth," which was not released after the whole 22 minutes! 20-year-old Kaia Gerber came to Cannes to support her lover. They first appeared on the red carpet separately but later reunited for a passionate kiss. The eyes of the audience all evening were riveted to this couple, who looked incredibly happy and in love. The model was dressed in a luxurious red dress with elegant thin spaghetti straps with bareback and black heeled sandals; the image was complemented by diamond studs. Kaya's hair was pulled into a messy bun, and her minimalist make-up was done in peach tones. Austin chose a dark suit for a secular exit, on the lapel of which a miniature white and purple bouquet was attached. Recall that Kaia Gerber and Austin Butler were first spotted together in December 2021, and from that moment on, the couple, who, by the way, have a 10-year age difference, have been inseparable. Prior to this, the model met with the actor of the TV series "Euphoria" Jacob Elordi and Austin - with actress Vanessa Hudgens (their romance lasted eight years but did not lead to anything). But back to Cannes: the Elvis Presley biopic generated a lot of interest from the public and the jury, which, of course, greatly encouraged the director of the film, Baz Luhrmann, who hopes to recreate the success of 20 years ago, when he brought the Moulin Rouge to the Cannes Film Festival with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
