Editorial Product Review: :Movie adaptations of Jane Austen's classic novels were all the rage (relatively speaking) in the mid-1990s.

The observant directorial hand of Roger Michell guides them through some brutally frank sex scenes, without ignoring the psychological mess that underlies it all. It comes ...
