It is a truth universally acknowledged that any story with ties to the witty, wistful brand of romance associated with author Jane Austen must be in want of a swoon-ready audience. And writer/director Laura Piani’s Jane Austen Wrecked My Life — starring Camille Rutherford as an aspiring writer struggling with both past trauma and present imposter syndrome — is no exception, putting a contemporary French spin on the work of arguably the most English of English storytellers.
