The Sense and Sensibility Screenplay and Diaries: Bringing Jane Austen's Novel to Film by Lindsay Doran, Clive Coote, Emma Thompson, Jane Austen

emotional funny informative relaxing fast-paced

5.0

I will consume anything Emma Thompson creates and this was a lovely read. I've never read a screenplay before and I was surprised at how fluid and seamless this was - probably why she won the Oscar! Emma's diary entries felt like a friend talking to me at the end of the day. She is funny and charming and so witty - deeply feeling and loyal. This is a precious book to me, and I learned a lot about the film industry and how shooting a film actually goes! Strong strong recommend. (This makes me itch to read the Fleabag Diaries now...)
