The Return of the Romantic Comedy: Jane Austin Wrecked My Life: with Director/Writer Laura Piani

🎙️ New Episode: "Jane Austen Wrecked My Life" – A Smart, Modern Twist on Austen-Inspired Romance 💌 It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen continues to inspire some of the most beloved films of all time—from faithful adaptations like the Oscar-winning Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice, to modern classics like Clueless (inspired by Emma), and fan-favorite Austen-adjacent titles like The Jane Austen Book Club, Austenland, and Cold Comfort Farm. Now, a delightful new entry joins that tradition: JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE, a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy from filmmaker Laura Piani. Set between Paris and the English countryside, the film stars Camille Rutherford as a lovelorn Parisian bookseller who believes her chance at love has passed her by. But when she’s invited to a Jane Austen-themed writers’ retreat in England, she finds herself swept into an Austen-esque dilemma—navigating the attention of two suitors while trying to stay true to herself. A breakout hit at the Toronto International Film Festival, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is now opening in theaters across the United States. 🎧 On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with writer-director Laura Piani to explore how Austen’s legacy lives on in modern cinema, the challenges of making an indie romantic comedy, and the enduring appeal of finding love when you least expect it. @SonyClassics @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse #Jane Austen #indiefilms film #arthouse #comedy #drama #interview #film review #Cannes #filmlovers #filmmaking #filmfestival #quirkycomedy #cinema #RomanticComedy #romantic BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #WatermelonPictures #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatre Jane Austen movie movies about writers movies about writing romantic comedy film Paris bookseller aspiring writer women’s stories in film female writer protagonist writing residency bookshop romance reference to Jane Austen reference to Mr. Darcy love triangle best movies about books bookstore Shakespeare and Company Paris contemporary Jane Austen adaptation female-directed film French romantic comedy inspiration for writers movies set in England writer’s block book lover movie Learn more about your ad choices.
