It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen has inspired some of our favorite movies.

There are the faithful adaptations: Oscar-nominated PRIDE & PREJUDICE, Oscar-winning SENSE & SENSIBILITY.

You also have more fanciful adaptations like the EMMA-inspired CLUELESS. And then you have the Jane Austen "adjacent" films like THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB, the hilarious AUSTENLAND, and a personal favorite - COLD COMFORT FARM.

Laura Piani's JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE is squarely in this last category. And it is a most welcome addition to the club. A beguiling Camille Rutherford stars as a desperately single Parisian bookseller, who feels that she has lost her chance at love. But when she is invited to participate in a writer's retreat in England, she finds herself tossed into an Austen-esque situation, juggling the affection of two suitors, and trying to find a way to stay true to herself.

A hit at the Toronto International Film Festival, JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE is now opening in theatres across the US.

Join us for a discussion with the film's writer and director, Laura Piani, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now...
