Jane Austen Wrecked My Life

Synopsis

Aspiring French novelist, Agathe, dreams of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel. Instead she finds herself stuck in desperate singlehood, working in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co in Paris, rather than pursuing her own writing ambitions. But then an unexpected invitation to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England arrives.

An eye-opening experience, in part thanks to her eccentric co-residents, Agathe is encouraged to confront her insecurities and explore her true romantic, sexual and creative nature. 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.
