![]() Persuasion remains a first not only time-wise, but is also the first Austen film to benefit from foreign sponsorship (other than the United States) with it’s Sony distributor (based in Japan) as well as being the first WGBH/Masterpiece Theater film created for cinema distribution. With it’s timeless story and autumnal feel this film is beautiful and comfortingly familiar while at the same time fresh and surprising. The 1995 (Sony/BBC/WGBH) version of Persuasion, ironically the first in the long line of "new" Austen adaptations, has been called "The film most like sitting down with an Austen novel." High praise indeed.
