It hath long been decreed that whensoever two or more Britons shall gather together in Los Angeles, the talk shall soon enough turn ... to Marmite. Or in Kate Beckinsale’s case, “Marmite characters”, such as her lead role, the delightfully daunting Lady Susan, in Whit Stillman’s sprightly Jane Austen adaptation Love and Friendship. “I was at the end of a long day of interviews once and I found myself deep in a Marmite conversation with an American journalist. Impossible to describe it to them because they think it tastes like motor oil. Some of my characters – the ones I like playing – are like Marmite in that you either really love the character or you just can’t stand them. It turns out Lady Susan may be slightly less Marmitey than I thought, because people are really falling in love with her.” Sign up to our Bookmarks newsletter Read more She’s not wrong. Love and Friendship is reaching an audience delighted to find Stillman simultaneously moving into period costume drama and literary adaptation, while retaining that familiar whiff of “doomed bourgeois in love” that is the trademark of his other brittle comedies of manners.
