] The International Festival of Film on Art is going on in Montreal this week, and I am thinking of going to see a British documentary film called "The Real Jane Austen" (2002), directed by Nicky Pattison. I have some reservations, because the description talks about "dramatic reconstructions", which I am not crazy about, plus I suspect I know most of the biographical information already. Has anyone else seen this film, and what did you think of it?

It was broadcasted at the end of December by the BBC in UK. Here are two links with comments from those fortunates who had seen it:
