I watched Miss Austen Regrets yesterday and I can’t remember the last time a film made me cry so much. It’s a beautiful film, with a clever script and layered performances. Gotta love Olivia Williams. It’s not your avarage historical drama because of its somber tone and also because there’s no one-big-love-story. There are the hopes and dreams of a young girl and the reflections of an elder woman on past opportunities as well as satirical observations of her surroundings. I recommend everyone watch it!
Other than that I’m really busy trying to organize everything for my house move - there are so many little things to do and I haven’t even started packing yet. I’ve got to call the people who rent out my apartment next week. I’m 99% sure they lied to me last Monday when I called to ask whether there were any serious applications. They HAVE to make a contract soon because I really don’t want to pay rent for 2 months after I’ve moved out!!!
In addition I’m looking for a car to buy at an affordable price and enjoying the heavenly weather. That’s why I haven’t felt like coming online much recently and I seriously apologize for any neglect on answering emails etc. I also should update the Marion site over the weekend - the Sophia one too although things are bit more up to date there.

I watched this too, and I can honestly say I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. The ending made me cry too (and I hate it when films make me do that, lol.) But yes, definitely a film I can see myself re-watching, which isn’t something I do often, save for a select few!

P.S. Good luck with the move!
