Event Description
Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming, and full of contradictions, dreams of experiencing love like that described in a Jane Austen novel. However, she finds herself remaining in desperate singlehood, spending her days working in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co, in Paris, instead of pursuing her own ambitions of becoming a novelist. But when a surprise invitation to the Jane Austen Writers’ Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is destined for an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Encouraged to tackle her insecurities and explore her true romantic, sexual and creative nature, in part thanks to her eccentric co-residents, Agathe comes to the realisation that it’s time to stop wasting her sentimental life and take control – over both her writing aspirations, and her very own love story.
This directorial debut from acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani is an uplifting and heart-warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility.
Jane Austen Wrecked My Life stars Camille Rutherford (Anatomy of a Fall), Pablo Pauly (The French Dispatch) and Charlie Anson (Death on the Nile).
