« Given the recent spate of Jane Austen adaptations (notably, Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility, Douglas McGrath's Emma and the BBC productions of Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice), one could be forgiven for anticipating diminishing returns from what is widely viewed as the author's least satisfying and most intractably moralistic work [Mansfield Park]. But that would be to reckon without the contribution of Canadian director Patricia Rozema who, disdaining a purist approach, offers some smart and suggestive variations on the usual Regency rituals. »
