JANE AUSTEN A GÂCHÉ MA VIE
A desperately single bookseller, lost in a fantasy world, finds herself forced to fulfil her dreams of becoming a writer in order to stop messing up her love life.
Agathe (Camille Rutherford), hopelessly clumsy yet charming and full of contradictions, finds herself in desperate singlehood. Her dream is to experience love akin to a Jane Austen novel and her ultimate aspiration is to become a writer. Instead, she spends her days selling books in the legendary British Bookshop, Shakespeare & Co, in Paris. Invited to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England, she must confront her insecurities to finally fulfil her ambition of becoming a novelist and put an end to wasting her sentimental life. Agathe, is an Elizabeth Bennet-type character in the shape of a Phoebe Waller-Bridge protagonist: she is lonely, depressed, a bit of an alcoholic and often facing an existential crisis. Full of delight and dry wit, together with a hint of the Richard Curtis rom-com, this is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. (Subtitles)
