If you’ve ever dreamed of finding your very own Mr. Darcy, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life might be the perfect film for you at TIFF 2024. In this charming and witty romantic comedy, director Laura Piani takes the best of Jane Austen’s novels and blends them with a modern-day twist. It’s a delightful story of self-discovery, romance, and chasing your dreams.
What’s Jane Austen Wrecked My Life About?
Agathe (Camille Rutherford) works at the famous Shakespeare & Co. bookstore in Paris, surrounded by other people’s stories of romance and adventure. But her own life? Not so exciting. She dreams of writing a novel and finding love like the heroines in her favorite Jane Austen books. Her romantic life, however, has been more Persuasion than Pride and Prejudice — and she’s struggling to finish any of the stories she starts.
When Agathe is offered a spot at a Jane Austen writing residency in England, she hopes this is her chance to finally live out her dreams. But things get complicated when she meets the arrogant yet handsome Oliver Lowe (Charlie Anson), who seems straight out of an Austen novel himself. And just as things start to heat up, her best friend Felix (Pablo Pauly) reveals his feelings for her. It’s a love triangle worthy of Austen’s pages — and Agathe has to figure out if life is imitating art or if she’s writing her own story.
