tv finds jane far from plain

Saturday October 03 2009

Tomorrow night, the BBC will launch a major new, four-part serialisation of Jane Austen's Emma. It is, remarkably, the third TV series based on Austen's novel, and there has also been a TV film and two movies. That's just that book: overall, Austen's six novels have inspired, by my reckoning, some 14 mini-series, at least 12 feature films and a countless number of indirect adaptations based on her themes.

'People are still taken away by the magic of cinema'

Sunday April 20 2008

A STRANGE atmosphere pervades the cinema when a director and cast watch their own film in public. The festival-going gentry know the score (don't munch popcorn, don't eye the actress during her nude scene, applaud politely), but, in the rowdier democracy of the cineplex, none of this can be taken for granted. Which is why, Mike Leigh tells me, he was quite relieved that his new film, Happy-Go-Lucky, went over well at its Dublin premiere in Cineworld on Parnell Street, which he attended. "They understood the bit with the Dublin accent in it, that's all I was worried about," he laughs.
