Whit Stillman On Jane Austen
Jane Austen lovers, rejoice! Whit Stillman—director of “The Last Days of Disco” and “Metropolitan — has shifted his storytelling focus to a rarely read story by Austen that has never been seen on film or television. “Love & Friendship” was released in theaters on May 13 and follows the tale of Lady Susan, a widow and schemer extraordinaire who tosses off bon mots as she ignites chaos and intra-family strife while she pursues her next husband. Stillman talks about Austen here.
