Description from Disney+ Great Britain
Based on the Jane Austen novella ‘Lady Susan’ set in the high society of the 1790s, acclaimed writer-director Whit Stillman’s film is an exquisitely witty and devious comedy of matchmaking and heartbreaking. Beautiful widow Lady Susan Vernon visits the estate of her in-laws to wait out the colorful rumors about her dalliances circulating through polite society. While ensconced there, she attracts the simultaneous attentions of the young, handsome Reginald DeCourcy, the rich and silly Sir James Martin, and the divinely attractive but married Lord Manwaring, complicating matters severely. But as always, Lady Susan has a plan. With a note-perfect ensemble cast, Love & Friendship is a fresh, disruptive, and frequently hilarious take on the traditional period drama. Featuring a revelatory turn from Kate Beckinsale as the duplicitous – but thoroughly charming – Lady Susan Vernon, here is the sharpest and wittiest Jane Austen adaptation to grace the screen.
