Sense and Sensibility (Sense & Sensibility)

Show & Culture

After the death of their father, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood must leave their beautiful home to retire with their mother to the countryside. The two eldest daughters delicately explore the reasons and feelings of complicated loves in a strict and regulated society. "Everything comes together to seduce the eye and mind. It is an elegant and refined work, romantic and full of feeling... A very British film, although directed by a Taiwanese." (Le Guide des Films, Éd. Laffont) "Thompson’s screenplay stays true both to Austen’s themes (the gulf between romanticism and materialism, the difference between hearsay, opinion and empirical knowledge) and to her delightfully ironic wit." (Time Out Film Guide) "We need no further proof that this material is ageless." (New York Times)
