The Pursuit of Love

British actress Emily Mortimer writes and directs this audacious three-part adaptation of Nancy Mitford’s wartime novel. Fellow Brits Lily James and Emily Beecham sparkle as co-dependent cousins, while Dominic West, Andrew Scott and Mortimer herself lend gravitas. Invigorated with pace, passion and raciness, this is period drama for the 21st century. And the costumes are resplendent.
