THE OTHER BENNET SISTER
ELLA BRUCCOLERI TAKES THE LEAD ROLE
BBC One has announced last year that they will produce THE OTHER BENNET SISTER period set series and now we have news that Ella Bruccoleri will take the lead role. Ten half hour episodes will follow one of Jane Austen’s most unassuming characters: Mary Bennet, the seemingly unremarkable and overlooked middle sister in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. The series takes as its premise that when it comes to the Bennet 
sisters, while women dream of being Lizzy, in reality most of them are more like Mary. The series follows Mary as she steps out of her sisters’ shadows in search of her own identity and purpose – finding herself in the middle of an epic love story along the way. Her journey will see her leave her family home in Meryton for the soirees of Regency London and the peaks and vales of the Lake District, all in search of independence, self-love and reinvention. It will also stream on BritBox.

I usually like the dresses in these types of series but the storyline isn't for me.
ReplyDeleteAnd the lead just does not scream star material, cannot imagine watching her for ten episodes LOL
DeleteGracias por la reseña. Espero verla. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteBe welcome, Beso.
DeleteFilm che offre una nuova prospettiva sul mondo di Orgoglio e pregiudizio, concentrandosi su Mary Bennet, spesso trascurata nell'opera originale. Con tono delicato e riflessivo, il film esplora il desiderio di essere vista e compresa, regalando un ritratto intimo e intelligente di una donna fuori dal suo tempo.
ReplyDeleteBuona domenica
Hope the rest of the cast will be more interesting, because I don't think anyone would watch it for this one above.
DeleteWhile I don't know this actress, she looks like she'd be a bore to watch.
ReplyDeleteThat was my opinion as well, especially when you see her other photos... my oh my... some people really are not photogenic at all. She is kinda like that binary lass from Last of Us.
