Talkie Tuesday: Persuasion (1995)

 

"I have loved none but you."

 
Hello everyone!
 
And welcome again to yet another rendition of a favourite of mine.
 
Listen, okay, I can't help it.
 
But I'm now wondering if, after TWO successful iterations, I should risk it with the Netflix one.
 
Oh I'm sure it's fine and all but, remembering the trailer, I can honestly say it comes across as quite comedic, which this story is not and never was.
 
So I'm nervous. Can you blame me?
 
I might skip that one, because man oh man, if this isn't my favourite Jane Austen story then I don't know what to tell you. And the 1995 one doesn't disappoint, just like the 2007 one doesn't!
 
So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, for the second time: Persuasion.
