Sense and Sensibility (1995 Ang Lee)

Excellent adaptation written by Emma Thompson (AA).

Emma Thompson (nom.), Kate Winslet (first of six nominations), Gemma Jones (mother), Hugh Grant, Elizabeth Spriggs (gossip), Alan Rickman, Greg Wise (Willoughby), Imelda Staunton (great), Hugh Laurie (brusque, good), James Fleet, Tom Wilkinson, Harriet Walter (his bitchy wife), Robert Hardy.

Emma's performance is very restrained - until the moment she loses it. Wonderful.

I love the diffidence in Hugh Grant, especially the way he walks into a room.

Ph. Michael Coulter (nom.)

Niftily put together (editor Tim Squyres), very successful,
