Title: Not worth the time to watch
Product review: Sorry, I know this was shot in 1986, but I don't remember the rest of the films shot that year being THIS technically terrible. The bad effects and film quality are so distracting, it actually makes the movie almost laughable. Not a good quality in any film, let alone a period piece.I'm not as familiar with this Jane Austen work as some of her others, but if her leading lady is as dreamy as portrayed here with so much internal fantasizing going on, you're going to need a special director to pull it off. I assume she was meant to be portrayed as highly creative, idealistic, unprepared for any sort of reality - instead she seems like a ridiculous, immature twit - or maybe that was the acting. I'd also be surprised if JA created her characters with so little depth or provided them with short, insipid text.Honestly, I'd try another version. I'm glad there are some because I'd written this one off. Not worth the money, or even the time, to watch.
