Emma/Mansfield Park [Import anglais]

Box set containing two popular movies based on the novels by Jane Austen. In 'Emma' (1996), Gwyneth Paltrow stars as matchmaker Emma Woodhouse. Although her heart is in the right place and she only wants the best for people, Emma's meddling sometimes can have unforseen effects, and when she turns her attentions to creating a love match between her young friend Harriet Smith (Toni Collette) and the local vicar, Mr Elton (Alan Cumming), events look certain to get out of hand. A cautionary note is, however, sounded by the admiring Mr Knightly (Jeremy Northam), towards whom Emma begins to feel attracted herself. In 'Mansfield Park' (2000), when Fanny Price (Frances O'Connor) is sent by her debt-ridden mother to live with her rich aunt, she struggles to adjust to her new aristrocratic lifestyle. Her 'superior' relatives constantly ignore her, and only her cousin Edmond (Jonny Lee Miller) shows any interest. However, Fanny's charm and wit win her many potential suitors, and before long she has to decide whether she wishes to wed for love or status.
