KCRW Partner Screening: Jane Austen Wrecked My Life
May 5 - 7:30 pm PDT
KCRW, Film Independent, and Sony Pictures Classics invite you to an advance screening of Jane Austen Wrecked My Life followed by a conversation with writer/director Laura Piani and lead actor Camille Rutherford, moderated by Jenelle Riley (Deputy Awards and Features Editor, Variety).
Agathe (Camille Rutherford) is a hopelessly clumsy yet charming young woman, who works in the legendary Shakespeare & Co. bookshop in Paris. While she dreams of being a successful writer, and of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel, she finds herself desperately single and plagued by writer’s block. When Agathe’s best friend (Pablo Pauly) gets her invited to the Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England, she finally has her Jane Austen moment…and is caught in a very unexpected romantic triangle. Agathe must let go of her insecurities to decide what she really wants for herself, and to achieve her romantic and professional dreams.
