Citation :
« Finally a director has taken real risks and reaped real rewards with [Jane Austen's] work, treating her novels not as a museum piece or as a sacred text but as a living presence whose power inspires flight. Mansfield Park is an audacious and perceptive cinematic evocation of Austen's distinctively sharp yet forgiving vision. »
