The film presents a modern interpretation of a Jane Austen narrative, following Agathe, an aspiring novelist portrayed by Camille Rutherford. Set against the backdrop of a Paris bookshop, Agathe grapples with her writing ambitions and romantic entanglements with Felix, her charming colleague, and Oliver, an elitist Austen descendant. The film deftly explores themes of impostor syndrome and creative self-doubt while maintaining comedic charm, providing viewers a delightful lens on the timeless nature of Austen's themes amid contemporary life.
British-French actor Camille Rutherford is terrific as Agathe, an aspiring novelist working in a Paris bookshop who wins a place on a Jane Austen writing retreat.
You don’t have to be an Austen fan to enjoy this film, but it helps. Agathe’s dilemma between Oliver and Felix is classic Austen.
