Based on the epistolary Jane Austen novella Lady Susan, Love & Friendship follows the manipulative and seductive widow, played exquisitely here by Kate Beckinsale. Using her wit, deception, wiles and cunning, Susan attempts to win the heart of the eligible Reginald De Courcy, all in an attempt to secure her financial future.  A thoroughly delightful period drama

Filmed entirely in Ireland and directed by Whit Stillman (Metropolitan), this adaptation of Jane Austen’s Lady Susan is a delightful jaunt where manners and social standing are key, and a lady is only as good as her last husband. Love & Friendship is a rarity: an 18th century period drama with an over-arching sense of fun.
