I had no idea that Jane Austen's short epistolary novel, Lady Susan, had been adapted to film. It opens in New York, Los Angeles and Paris this weekend, and opens nation-wide on May 27th. But don't go looking for a film called Lady Susan at the movie theaters. The title has been changed for the film to Love & Friendship (which is the title of one of Jane's early juvelinia works).
I am very encouraged after watching the trailer that this should be really good. It's also nice to see Kate Beckinsale in another Jane Austen adaptation 20 years after she was in a wonderful version of Emma.
