If you loved Wakefield, try The Jane Austen Book Club
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robin Swicord. If that's the register that drew you to Wakefield, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Jane Austen Book Club is
A cozy literary retreat for those who think feelings are best expressed through proper sentence structure. Six strangers gather to parse Austen’s novels, only to have their own lives stage clumsy reenactments of her romantic entanglements. The film politely ignores modern punctuation but somehow still gets away with it.
