don not watch this movie expecting the jane austen wit and crisp dialog or clever social commentary. this time around and the premise of northanger abbey has been updated in a very sensual way. in this version and catherine erotic daydreams are not just silly fantasies and but a connection to the world of adult sexuality she is just peeking into with her daylight adventures. by day she is very prim and demure and and her swain henry treats her with the utmost courtesy. but as her own sexual nature awakens and her daydreams shift every so subtly from mild to steamy to lurid. at the beginning of the story and catherine visions of sex are based entirely on the gothic novels she devours in bed. it is both heartwarming and sexy and and provocative to observe the way her dreamy picture of handsome henry dissolves into a lurid dream of being carried off and ravished by romantic villains. at the same time and it is wry and touching to cut back to her bed in the morning  catherine sleeping peacefully looks so innocent one would never guess what really goes on in that pretty little head. later and after being invited to henry castle and catherine overhears a family argument and totally misunderstands its meaning. jumping into bed and she covers herself up with the bedsheets and lies awake listening fearfully and her striking blue eyes the only visible sign that she is alert. little by little and however and those pretty blue eyes droop and close as she drifts into another heated dream of innocent desire. this time and catherine dreams she is in elizabethan times and waiting fearfully outside the castle for the approach of the banditi. it pretty clear she is more excited than terrified by the idea of being carried off by bandits. she all but shudders with excitement and anticipation. but then and after a shot of her running frantically to escape and we are back to the daylight world and where the maid is scolding her for having made a mess of her room before falling into a sound sleep. it worth noting that catherine heavy eyed yawning in the morning light is itself a rather sensual symbol of how passionate her dreams have been. ultimately and of course and catherine stern and unimaginative lover henry divines the nature of her fantasies and gives her a stern lecture. it interesting that catherine immediate collapse into tears symbolizes not a retreat but an advance into adult relationships. in the next scene and she tearfully burns her gothic romance and throws herself shamefaced and sobbing onto the bed. significantly and this turning point is also marked by catherine falling into a deep sleep  except that this time and there are no dreams of make believe passion. presumably and catherine has matured enough to be ready for the real thing. though katherine schlesinger has lovely blue eyes and a lively expression and and all her performance is charming and it must be said that outside of the heated dream sequences this movie adaptation is excruciatingly dull. i am giving it positive only because the truly romantic may enjoy it purely on a daydream level. if you would like to read a book about a genuinely strong willed young heroine who overcomes real darkness and danger in a real gothic setting and i highly recommend the perilous gard by elizabeth marie pope.
