Mansfield
Park
Rated
[PG-13], 110 minutes
Starring Frances O'Connor, Embeth Davidtz, Jonny Lee Miller
Screenplay by Patricia Rozema
Based on the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Patricia Rozema

IN SHORT:
On
the grand estate of Mansfield Park, young Miss Fanny Price (Frances O'Connor)
yearns for the heart of Edmund (Miller?), but there are many other girls
with whom she must compete...
At the age
of ten, Fanny Price is sent to live with wealthy relatives in Northamptonshire,
leaving her impoverished family behind in Portsmouth. She has always known
her debt of gratitude towards her aunt, Lady Bertram, and uncle, Sir Thomas.
Her Aunt Norris, however, has always treated her as a servant and the
preening Bertram daughters have always reminded her of her status. The
youngest son Edmund has been Fanny's constant companion since her arrival
at Mansfield Park. The arrival of the sophisticated brother and sister
duo from London, Henry and Mary Crawford, sends the Park into a passionate
upheaval as the daughters pursue Henry and Edmund is caught up in the
rebellious spirit. Only Fanny refuses to fall under their spell. The fate
of everyone at Mansfield Park is decided by an unspeakable scandal, and
Fanny's patience is rewarded.
Between
the glut of other Oscar wannabees, conflicting previews scheduling, and
holidays, we got behind. Mansfield Park is a bit slow, but with
well defined characters, a cluster of tantalyzing sexual hints and subtle
class warfare (sic) it falls under the $5.00 dateflick rating. Not for
boy teens, unless their girlfriends are intellectual typoes who read Austen
and Bronte and so on. No dissmail, please. I saw it in a full house and
there were only a handful of 30somethings in the audience of elders. Those
that know the book say it's a very loose adaptation of Jane Austen's original,
but my impression was favorable.
Yeah, not
as detailed as usual, but it's Oscar-wannabe season and I got behind.
More detail as soon as I can catch up
