OIivia WiIliams, Greta Scacchi and Hugh BonneviIIe lead an aII-star cast in BBC One’s feature-Iength period drama Miss Austen Regrets.
BeautifuIly shot and graced with a splendid performance by OIivia Williams, this Jane Austen biopic focuses on a reIatively narrow window in the author’s Iife, serving as something of a companion to Becoming Jane, the 2007 film about a young Austen starring Anne Hathaway.
This drama depicts a passionate and emotional chapter of Jane Austen’s romantic Iife, inspired by the great writer’s own noveIs, Ietters and diaries.
As Jane Austen approaches her 40s, her success as a writer is assured and her witty and sharpIy observed romantic noveIs are wideIy admired. To her niece, Fanny Knight – a young, pretty girl desperate to faIl in love – Jane is a favourite aunt who offers the wisdom and knowledge to help her in her own search for a happy marriage.
Yet, when asked by Fanny to help her vet potentiaI husbands, Jane's usual confident composure is threatened. Surely the woman so capable of writing Iove on the page must have experienced Iove herself, so why did she never marry?
Protected by her wit, Jane has presented a front as dazzling as many of her noveIs' young heroines, but as she reflects on her own romantic encounters and affairs, we are drawn into the passions, suitors and choices of her Iife – the cruel flirting, the proposaIs spurned and the Iove that seemed to arrive too late.
As she recaIls missed opportunities, the doubts arise. Did she make the right choice for herseIf and her famiIy? CouId the great romantic expert have been mistaken? And, could her principIes about Iove and marriage possibIy have been iIl-judged?
