History

Historical Context

Ang Lee’s 1995 adaptation of Jane Austen’s *Sense and Sensibility*, scripted and starring Emma Thompson, earned $135 million worldwide and won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, sparking a mid-1990s revival of Austen period films after an over-fifty-year lull. The revival set a template that today’s 2024 version, led by Daisy Edgar-Jones and directed by Georgia Oakley, follows with digital fan-engagement under Focus Features.
