New Austen-related film releases in Netherlands

November 11, 2009

Our Dutch correspondent Aad has sent a comprehensive e-mail with the latest releases of Austen-related films for Janeites in the Netherlands (and we know they are legion!).

DutchFilmWorks (DFW) has released a collection of films only previously available in a set as single titles. ‘Klassieke Boekverfilmingen’ includes Jane Austen’s Emma [1996] , Northanger Abbey [2007] & Mansfield Park [2007]. They are only available at Blokker.

DFW also has released Lost in Austen.

Sense and Sensibility 2008Just Entertainment has released a series of titles from their catalogue presented in uniform box design as ‘BBC Classics,’ including “Sense and Sensibility” [2008]. Aad writes, “I can’t find any information of this serie BBC Classics on the web, not even on the website of Just Entertainment. I’ve seen the series (about 12 titles) only at the stores of Freerecordshop and Van Leest.” (click on thumbnail for larger photo)

Aad also sent some photos of a window display at ABC American Book Centre in Amsterdam celebrating the release of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Aad writes, “I give them a B+ for effort.” We have to agree. (Click on the photos for larger versions.)

    Mags,

    after almost 15 years we have the 1995 (BBC) Pride and Prejudice subtitled in Brazilian Portuguese. Janeites in Brazil are full of joy! I bought mine this week. If you want a image, feel free to take it at Jane Austen in Portuguese:
    here or the little video here.

    kisses
