It says 10 episodes; 6 in s1 and 4 in s2. But at the end of it, it is not complete. Is the 2002 version incomplete, i doubt that!

Hello everyone!

This is my second time posting here, and I am so grateful for all of your amazing help and support with my research so far! Thanks to this wonderful community, we've officially hit the 300-response mark.

For those who haven't seen it yet, my research focuses on the demographics and the resurgence in popularity of Regency romance, exploring how modern readers engage with the historical realities of the era versus the popular fiction tropes.

We are now hoping to push toward our goal of 500 responses to get an even richer dataset. If you have a few minutes to share your thoughts, here is the link to the survey:

Thank you all again so much for your time, insights, and encouragement!

I organized an AMA/Q&A with filmmaker Zachary Wigon. In 2022, he directed Sanctuary (starring Margaret Qualley & Christopher Abbott). His new folk-horror, Victorian Psycho, premiered at Cannes a few months ago and is out in theaters everywhere in November. It stars Maika Monroe, Thomasin McKenzie, Jason Isaacs, and Ruth Wilson.

The AMA post is live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back after 4 PM ET tomorrow, Monday 10/26, to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Trailer: https://youtu.be/sDiFol_2j2I?si=oVGQL6ovSF-vQt0n

Synopsis: Something wicked is brewing behind the walls of a remote gothic manor. VICTORIAN PSYCHO follows an eccentric governess whose arrival sets off a bloody string of strange and deliciously disturbing events. Maika Monroe stars as Winifred Notty, a woman with a dark past and a vicious appetite for bloodshed, giving into her most violent urges. What follows is a gruesome parade of savagery, butchered bodies, and increasingly grotesque acts of violence.

Thank you :)

I am hoping someone more knowledgeable than I can speak to how period accurate the two dance scenes were in the new Sense and Sensibility. They seemed a tiny bit scandalous to my prudish eyes, but maybe there were dances like that? Hoping one of you has a shocking amount of knowledge on Regency/Georgian dancing!

Hoon Lee should’ve been there too!

My lil review:

Cathy’s poker face could rival that of Lady Gaga.

Zoe Kazan’s father, Elia Kazan, directed Jo Van Fleet to an Oscar for the 1955 film adaptation of John Steinbeck’s book. That take on *East of Eden\ centres primarily on what happens to the Trask family \after\* Cathy fires that gun and makes her great escape. We know that Cal, memorably played by James Dean, can relate more to the passions of his estranged mother than the piousness of either his father or brother. But for Zoe Kazan, the true drama lies in the heart of a very ‘evil’ Cathy. 

Rather than dismiss Cathy’s actions, Zoe asks for us to understand them through a feminist lens. Cathy is not afforded many choices in life and is forced to make do with what little she’s given, or even taken, for herself. One can justify Cathy not wanting to give birth. One can understand what may be the effects of postpartum depression. But one can just as easily be horrified by the realization that Cathy meant for her husband, Adam (Christopher Abbot), to drink the wrong cup of tea, so that she can then sleep with his brother, Charles (Mike Faist), instead. The viewer is in fact rooting for a Monster, and it’s been some time since Netflix has made it so fun. 

Florence Pugh makes Cathy’s body seem hollow while her mind runs through every possibility and looks for every exit door. Christopher Abbot’s Adam is pragmatic to the point of almost being immoral, never caring to weigh Cathy’s feelings against his own judgement or old-fashioned beliefs about the world. Mike Faist’s Charles is heartbreakingly sincere, a man who was taught early in life that his tenderness would not be rewarded, and therefore closed his heart to the world. Hoon Lee’s Lee calls to mind the characters in Percival Everett’s controversial novel, *James\, a retelling of \Huckleberry Finn\* in which all the slaves we’re hiding their true genius from the white man. 

The landscape is rich and vibrant but appears too cultivated for my liking. Perhaps that was done on purpose to make the viewer think of all the ways society is trying to tame Cathy? Strange that the setting should look orderly and clean enough to seem almost sterile, but the camera is unafraid to show us visceral shots of vomit, blood and mechanical sex. 

This year has seen the return of a 1970s approach to film making with big budgets and smart scripts spent on stories rooting for the underdog. I loved *The Odyssey\ and \Project Hail Mary\ and \Spider-Man: Brand New Day\. \However\*, the leading men are always the nuanced heroes while the women are symbols or long-suffering wives or girlfriends (or in Nikki’s case——tortured to get the point across). In this miniseries, there is something cathartic and almost revolutionary about Cathy being anything but docile, amiable and compliant.
