Austen film reimagines classic author’s life

CALLICOON, NY — The CineArt presentation for October will be “Becoming Jane,” a story told in the style and language of Jane Austen’s novels that imagines the author’s romantic life as a young woman. The cast is led by Anne Hathaway as the beloved author and includes James McAvoy, James Cromwell and Maggie Smith.

Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote “Becoming Jane is a triumph for Anne Hathaway, who brings to the young Jane the same jittery wide-eyed intensity she displayed in ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ along with a secure British accent.”

Screenings will be held on Friday, October 19 at 9:15 p.m.; Saturday, October 20 at 3:15 and 9:15 p.m.; and Sunday, October 21 at 3:15 and 7:30 p.m. Admission costs $7.50.
