Jane Austen Wrecked My Life15A98 min
Synopsis
Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming, and full of contradictions, dreams of experiencing
love akin to a Jane Austen novel. Instead she finds herself stuck in desperate singlehood,
spending her days working in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co in Paris,
rather than pursuing her own ambitions of becoming a novelist. But when an unexpected
invitation to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is in for
an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Encouraged to confront her insecurities and
explore her true romantic, sexual and creative nature, in part thanks to her eccentric co-
residents, Agathe realises it’s time to stop wasting her sentimental life and take control - over
both her writing aspirations, and her very own love story.
Starring Camille Rutherford (Anatomy of a Fall), Pablo Pauly (The French Dispatch) and Charlie Anson (Death on the Nile), Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is an uplifting and heart- warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility, marking the directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani
