Catherine’s brother Reginald DeCourcy (Xavier Samuel) is also there, and eventually Frederica is turned out of boarding school because Susan can’t afford it, so she joins the family too.
So Lady Susan moves into Churchill and stays with her brother-in-law, Charles Vernon (Justin Edwards), and his wife Catherine (Emma Greenwell). Lady Susan was staying at the Manwaring estate for some time before she was finally turned out, under assumptions that her and Lord Manwaring (Lochlann O’Mearáin) were having an affair. It tells the story of recently widowed and rather young Lady Susan Vernon (Kate Beckinsale) as she looks for both a match for her daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) and also for herself, that she might bolster her own status and fortunes. Let’s consider Love & Friendship. A film rather clever in it’s machinations and based on two separate Jane Austen novels. Some would argue that The Last Days of Disco was his weakest film, but at 72% on Rotten Tomatoes and lead by Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny, I suspect that those people don’t know what they’re talking about. To be very clear, Stillman has only directed a total of five films altogether, however each of them have been rather favourable with critics and audiences alike. John Whitney “ Whit” Stillman is an American writer-director best known for his 1990 film Metropolitan (also his first film), but secondarily for his rather limited number of films released between 1990 and now. See exhibit A, for example.Ĭast: Kate Beckinsale, Chloë Sevigny, Xavier Samuel
After all, it is something I value and can appreciate for it’s nuanced and artful nature.Īnd yet, I’ve made other mistakes by consciously avoiding other authors who are just as capable of striking at these tropes. In some ways I’m embarrassed to admit this now because I wonder what more I could have learned and accomplished had I been exposed to this type of writing from an earlier age.
My first real exposure to effective satire came from reading Gulliver’s Travels in high school.
