Sense and Sensibility: Flirtation, Feminism & Regency Frocks

We joyfully announce our new episode about SENSE & SENSIBILITY, in honour of the 250th birthday of Miss Jane Austen. Adapted from that august lady’s 1811 novel, this beloved picture was decorated with many pretty awards and kind remarks upon its release in the year of 1995.

Ms Molly and Miss Chloe are delighted to welcome costume designer Miss Eleanor Bull, who was part of the Oscar-winning team behind Poor Things. We discuss all the particulars of Sense & Sensibility, including the handsome and witty cast, the talent of star and scriptwriter Mrs Emma Thompson and the directorial eye of Mr Ang Lee.

Thanks to Eleanor’s expertise, we consider the elegant work of the costumers Mrs Beavan and Mr Bright, who dressed Miss Kate Winslet, Mr Hugh Grant and the rest in the first style of Regency fashion.

Last but certainly by no means least, we remember that most excellent performer, Mr Alan Rickman, ten years after his sad death.

We also bestow awards for Best Outfit, Most Improved Character and more, and offer our suggestions of what to view next. While the discussion does tend towards the indelicate when matters arise pertaining to Mr Willoughby, it is an altogether enlightening conversation.
