I love this seductive bonbon, this oddity: the 1999 version of 'Mansfield Park' written and directed by Patricia Rozema. I especially adore the casting: Alessandro Nivola (the very Southern husband in 'Junebug'!) as Henry Crawford....

Nivola was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father, Pietro S. Nivola, is a professor of political science who wrote the book Laws of the Landscape: How Policies Shape Cities in Europe and America, and his mother is an artist. Nivola's paternal grandfather was the Italian sculptor Costantino Nivola and his paternal grandmother, Ruth Guggenheim, was a Jewish refugee from Germany. He has a brother, Adrian, and attended Phillips Exeter Academy, and earned a degree in English from Yale.

I own Mansfield Park and enjoy watching it occasionally. But the Austen movie I like the most is Sense and Sensibility by our own Ang Lee. My least favourite Austen movies are the ones that involve that moony Mr. Darcy. Do I need to duck and cover now??
