Product Description:
A young couple's stormy romance scandalizes English society in this acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen's classic love story. Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds of the Royal Shakespeare Company are the star-crossed lovers, Anne and Wentworth, whose passion is thwarted by a scheming socialite. Eight years later, when Anne is considered an old maid and her once-rich family is on the verge of bankruptcy, Wentworth returns. Will their second chance at love be ruined by the social conventions that destroyed it once? Or will the heart be persuaded by rules of its own? Adding flirtatious fun to Austen's irresistible romance, "Persuasion" takes your breathe away! A dazzling five-star feast.

Amazon.com:
Movie adaptations of Jane Austen's classic novels were all the rage (relatively speaking) in the mid-1990s. Clueless updated Austen's Emma, which was more conventionally adapted in another version (Emma) starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Emma was produced yet again, this time for British television, as were a celebrated miniseries of Pride and Prejudice and this splendid film of Austen's Persuasion. Persuasion is the story of a love that survives eight years of dormancy and the frustrating obstacles of class prejudice in 19th century England. Anne (Amanda Root) is captivated when she meets the dignified naval officer Capt. Wentworth (Ciarán Hinds), but she is advised to discourage his romantic overtures because he has no fortune. They meet again eight years later, but now Capt. Wentworth has become wealthy while Anne's father is in reduced circumstances in the wake of reckless extravagance. A series of circumstances ensue which prevent Anne and Wentworth from expressing their mutual and inevitable love. The film's success depends entirely on the subtle, superb performances of Root and Hinds. The film builds slowly, occasionally leaving you wondering if anything at all is going to happen. When it does, you realize how carefully crafted a film this is, and the final result is grandly rewarding. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I'm persuaded to like it!
At first I was too irritated with the main character, Anne, for not being pretty enough. She's to have had faded looks and regain them as the story goes on. Hmmm. She could have been made to look a bit more attractive. Upon subsequent observation, I've decided I can get over it, and am really enjoying this movie as another Austen triumph. It's not A&E's Pride and Prejudice, but it hasn't the time to develop, either. So...all in all the acting is great (Mary and Wentworth especially) and for Austen ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Atypical Beauty!
This is my favorite film adaptation of my favorite Austen novel. I saw it years ago on PBS and wore out a VHS copy before finally finding it on dvd. I teach high school English, and my students dislike this version because they have been spoon-fed by Hollywood and want everything slick and sanitized, and this is neither. The actors are all "regular-looking" people without a gorgeous, Hollywood face in the bunch, but the acting is first rate. Amanda Root is brilliant as the faded heroine Ann Eliot, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best version!
This is the best version of Persuasion that I have seen, and I would recommend it to anybody with one warning: There are a few issues with foul language. Beyond that, it was wonderful!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Austen adaptation so far (for a movie, not miniseries!)
The best adaptation of an Austen movie so far. I just read the book (and bought the movie on iTunes and watched it right after I finished it). After seeing the movie I have to say it's been the best adaptation so far in that it stays VERY close to the book and deviates rarely, and even these "deviations" are barely noticeable. I was really surprised by it and I enjoyed the movie very much. I don't think there's a better Austen-based movie comparison.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - More Jane Austen's Master Piece.
Jane Austen doesn't need any introduction, and this film has beautiful details of her history "Persuassion".
