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.

Jessica Chastain came out in a seductive blouse with ruffles

Over the years of her distinguished career, Jessica Chastain has won not only the status of a talented actress but also the title of a star with a unique sense of style.

The black and white combination, typical for many, certainly sparkled with fresh colors, and Jessica deserves the highest rating, at least for a new reading of an already eternal classic! In a previous post, Broadway is New York's largest theater venue, so it's no surprise that the red carpet at the annual Tony Awards was full of pictures of the theater. Celebrating the best musicals and performances at the star-studded event, celebrities chose costumes that seemed to need their own stage. Floor-length dresses have been re-imagined many times, and some celebrities have managed to add a touch of irony to the classic silhouette. For example, Cynthia Erivo appeared at the party in a white Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress with a sharp waist and hood. Jessica Chastain looked like a rabbit in a pink off-the-shoulder Gucci gown. Ariana DeBos shone in a sequined bass gown, while Ruth Negga opted for an Armani private gown with a crystal mesh overlay and deep V-neckline.
