About this film
What it's about
The Dashwood sisters, sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne, learn that their prospects of marriage seem doomed by their family's sudden loss of fortune. After Henry Dashwood dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass on by law to his son. These circumstances leave Mr. Dashwood's wife and daughters without a home and with barely enough money to live on. As Elinor and Marianne struggle to find romantic fulfillment in a society obsessed with financial and social status, they must learn to mix sense with sensibility in their dealings with both money and men.
Date Night Pick
The romance Paris was made for
Ang Lee's adaptation is everything you want from a night at the cinema together — sweeping feeling, perfectly observed longing, and two sisters whose contrasting approaches to love will spark conversation all the way to the restaurant afterward. Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet make every glance and restrained sigh feel like the end of the world, in the best possible way. With seven screens across the city, you have no excuse to miss it.
