There is some dramatic tension between Anne and Wentworth in this one. I really enjoyed it when the Masterpiece had their Austen series.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873036011530033335.post-65728198617929171572010-08-03T10:30:12.230-04:002010-08-03T10:30:12.230-04:00Geez, I'll definitely be avoiding this one.

I'm planning to reread Persuasion after not reading it for years, and I was hoping to have a good film/TV adaptation for after I read the book, but maybe there isn't a good one.

Amanda Root, played Anne, and Ciaran Hinds was Wentworth. I enjoyed both, the book and the DVD. I have never seen the 1971 version you watched. <br /><br />After your review, I would like to watch it just to see the difference in the two movies.

Modern re-tellings might not always be entirely faithful to the text but I feel they do much better with being faithful to the tone and characters.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.com
