Sense and Sensibility

In this tale of two sisters, Elinor (Emma Thompson), with her measured approach to life, has too much sense; Marianne (Kate Winslet), with her unbridled enthusiasm, has too much romantic sensibility. This finely crafted film, balancing irony and warmth, was nominated for seven Academy Awards and won for Thompson’s adapted screenplay. 1995, U.S./U.K., color, 35mm, 135 minutes.
