The Dashwood sisters, sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne, learn that their prospects of marriage seem doomed by their family's sudden loss of fortune. After Henry Dashwood dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass on by law to his son. These circumstances leave Mr. Dashwood's wife and daughters without a home and with barely enough money to live on. As Elinor and Marianne struggle to find romantic fulfillment in a society obsessed with financial and social status, they must learn to mix sense with sensibility in their dealings with both money and men.

Sense and Sensibility, along with the 2005 queer classic Brokeback Mountain, introduced me to Ang Lee and he became one of my favorite filmmakers. The film was a confluence of brilliant creative minds working together at the top of their game: producer Lindsay Doran, writer and star Emma Thompson, and director Ang Lee. For me, it’s a perfect film and arguably the defining Jane Austen film adaptation.Doran’s passion for the source material, Thompson’s sharp wit and precise structure, and Lee’s elegant directorial style all combined to bring this film to life.
