'Jane Austen Wrecked My Life' cleverly mixes modern elements with a light-hearted homage to Austen's world, following Agathe, an aspiring writer working in a Paris bookstore.

The film is filled with visual charm and celebrates the joys and pains of love, echoed by its literary inspirations and beautiful settings.
