Love & Friendship, the movie version of an unfinished Jane Austen novel titled Lady Susan, is getting rave reviews and sounds like something many Movie Club members would enjoy. So that's our pick for our June outing.
We'll be seeing it at the Varsity Cinema (ManuLife Centre, Bloor & Bay) on Tuesday, June 7. Screen time is 2:40, so let's meet near the box office about 20 minutes earlier.
SYNOPSIS:
Set in the opulent drawing rooms of eighteenth-century English society, Love & Friendship focuses on the machinations of a beautiful widow, Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale), who, while waiting for social chatter about a personal indiscretion to pass, takes up temporary residence at her in-laws' estate. While there, the intelligent, flirtatious, and amusingly egotistical Lady Vernon is determined to be a matchmaker for her daughter Frederica -- and herself too, naturally. She enlists the assistance of her old friend Alicia (Chloë Sevigny), but two particularly handsome suitors (Xavier Samuel and Tom Bennett) complicate her orchestrations.
