Jane Austen Wrecked My Life

Programme Type: Film|Length: 98 mins| Cert:

Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming, and full of contradictions, dreams of experiencing

love akin to a Jane Austen novel. Instead she finds herself stuck in desperate singlehood,

spending her days working in the legendary British bookshop, Shakespeare & Co in Paris,

rather than pursuing her own ambitions of becoming a novelist. But when an unexpected

invitation to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is in for

an eye-opening and life-changing experience.


Encouraged to confront her insecurities and explore her true romantic, sexual and creative nature, in part thanks to her eccentric co-residents, Agathe realises it’s time to stop wasting her sentimental life and take control - over both her writing aspirations, and her very own love story.


Starring Camille Rutherford (Anatomy of a Fall), Pablo Pauly (The French Dispatch) and

Charlie Anson (Death on the Nile), Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is an uplifting and heart-

warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility, marking the directorial

debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani.
