Why Stream This Film?
An unusual Austen film in that the lead character, Catherine, struggles between reality and intense fantasies. And yet, Catherine is Austen’s sweetest, gentlest, most childlike heroine. 
Accolades
  • Irish Film and Television Awards: Nominated, Best Cinematography
A wonderfully evocative adaptation written with flair and imagination by Andrew Davies. The film is shot beautifully by Ciarán Tanham while composer Charlie Mole’s score adds to the quickening pace of Catherine’s fantasies.
