Mansfield Park (2007)

In the grandeur of Mansfield Park, a young girl named Fanny Price is plucked from her deprived existence by her mother and thrust into the affluent world of her aunt and uncle, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram. At the tender age of ten, Fanny finds herself navigating the maze of societal expectations and familial obligations, often reminded that she is the poor relation in a world of opulence. As Fanny grows and blossoms into a woman of eighteen, her position within the household shifts. With her uncle away on an extended business venture, she begins to explore the joys of her adopted world. The arrival of the charmingly wealthy Crawford siblings, Henry and Mary, brings a whirlwind of opportunities and challenges. Edmund Bertram, Fanny's sensitive cousin who pursues a life of virtue over material gains, finds himself ensnared in Mary's charm. Mary, however, yearns for a union of wealth, discarding Edmund's humble clergyman aspirations. Amidst the emotional turmoil, Fanny harbours a secret affection for Edmund, a love that casts a shadow over her ability to accept the marriage proposal from the affluent Mr. Crawford. Fanny's refusal of Henry's proposal sends shockwaves through the Bertram household, leading to a sense of betrayal. Unbeknownst to them, a storm of more strenuous trials looms on the horizon, promising to shake the very foundations of Mansfield Park and its inhabitants. As this poignant tale unravels, it reveals surprising twists and turns, painting a vivid panorama of love, ambition, and class disparities.

Mansfield Park is a drama movie featuring Billie Piper and directed by Iain B. MacDonald.
