Persuasion 1995

Persuasion has been my favorite Jane Austen novel since I was a teenager. I love the story, the main characters, and Jane Austen's wit in her writing especially in regards to Anne's family. It is, however, a tricky one to adapt which means that I am never completely satisfied with any of the adaptations. The movie of 1995 is characterized with staying true to the novel but relying mostly on solo piano matching the quiet, introverted nature of the heroine. While some of the music is written by composer Jeremy Sams, much of the music depends on classical music by Chopin and J.S. Bach. Since there is no soundtrack available, there is a great focus on the classical music with a little bit of Sams.
