Jane Austen Wrecked My Life: Screening

29 Jun 2025

19:30 - 21:10

National Science and Media Museum

Agathe, hopelessly clumsy yet charming, and full of contradictions, dreams of experiencing love akin to a Jane Austen novel.  

Instead, she finds herself single, spending her days working in the legendary British bookshop in Paris, Shakespeare & Co, rather than pursuing her ambitions of becoming a novelist. But when an unexpected invitation to the Jane Austen Writers' Residency in England lands in her lap, Agathe is ready for an eye-opening and life-changing experience. Agathe realises it’s time to stop wasting her sentimental life and take control – over both her writing aspirations, and her very own love story. 

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is an uplifting and heart-warming throwback to classic romance, with a modern sensibility, marking the directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Laura Piani.
