Filmmaker Whit Stillman's fascination with all things Austen filters through his entire oeuvre, beginning with his first film "Metropolitan." Here he details for ASU Professor of English and author of "The Making of Jane Austen," Devoney Looser, how research into late 18th and early 19th century English culture livened up key moments of comedy and drama for his film "Love and Friendship," starring Kate Beckinsale.
