Visual Jane Austen

For those of us just beginning to enjoy a visual Jane Austen, there is a new adaptation of Sense & Sensibility playing on PBS. I barely remember the1995 version with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.

Although serious fans of Austen may balk at any movie version, it still may peak interest in such period pieces. This new version of Sense & Sensibility is breathtakingly beautiful, the costumes alone are at the very least, worth a look. Part II airs 2/8/09 at 9 p.m.
