#FIRSTLOOK: NETFLIX’S “PRIDE AND PREJUDICE” TEASER

Netflix has officially debuted a teaser for their forthcoming Pride and Prejudice series featuring Elizabeth Bennet (Emma Corrin) and Mr. Darcy (Jack Lowden).

In a year rife with regency drama for loyal fans, Pride and Prejudice will join the yearn-aissance in the Autumn to faithfully bring Jane Austen’s iconic story back to life for audiences that cherish it, whilst inspiring a new generation to fall in love with it for the first time.

When the full cast was revealed during production, Dolly Alderton (Writer and Executive Producer) said: “‘Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy – it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life. With Euros Lyn directing our stellar cast, I am so excited to reintroduce these hilarious and complicated characters to those who count Pride and Prejudice as their favourite book, and those who are yet to meet their Lizzie and Mr Darcy.”

Eagle-eyed fans in the UK took to social media last week as they spotted the teaser playing on the big screen ahead of watching Wuthering Heights.

#TIFF22: “MY POLICEMAN”

By Amanda Gilmore

My Policeman follows Tom (Harry Styles) a young policeman who has conformed to the social expectations of 1950s Britain. When he meets Schoolteacher Marion (Emma Corrin) she is immediately smitten with him and the two begin a relationship. However, their world changes when they meet museum curator Patrick (David Dawson). Tom and Patrick fall in love during a time when it was forbidden to do so. Decades later, in 1999, the three (Linus Roache, Gina McKee, and Rupert Everett) must confront their painful past to move toward their future.

The Film works best as a study on memory and wasted time. Screenwriter Ron Nyswaner weaves the story of the three through their twenties and then meets them again decades later. In 1999, we get to see the guilt that Marion (McKee) and Tom (Roache) have carried with them. This guilt has kept them tied unhappily together. Through this, we witness that it’s never too late to forgive yourself and start a life that will make you happy.

Further, it’s through the weaving of the time frames that we see this forbidden love through changing social conventions. When Tom and Patrick meet, their love is illegal. They have no choice but to hide. Therefore, we understand where Tom’s mixed emotions of anger, passion, sadness and regret come from. It’s a performance that shows the range Styles has. While Patrick, an outstanding Dawson, longs to have a future where he doesn’t have to share Tom. Then there’s Corrin who gives a stellar performance as Marion who tries to hold onto the life she’s only ever imagined for herself. We see their wants and desires back in the ‘50s and why Tom and Patrick couldn’t be together. Then we are brought to 1999 when things began changing for the Community. We see the changing views reflected in the adult characters.

My Policeman is a touching story of love, memory and time.

My Policeman screens as follows at TIFF ’22:

Sun, Sep 11 IN-PERSON at Visa Screening Room at the Princess of Wales Theatre at 6:30 pm

Mon, Sep 12 IN-PERSON at Scotiabank Theatre at 12:00 pm
