Can't we have both? We can and we should! By the way, I just found a BBC documentary called George Eliot: A Scandalous Life, which is available in six parts (subtitled in Russian) on the YouTubes. It looks great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl0ZUnGchHE&l...

I thought the movie was quite good... Claire Danes was phenomenal in the role.

These all sound amazing and I can't wait to see them. Here are my own favorites:

I, the Worst of All (Spanish: Yo, la peor de todas) is the real-life story of Sor Juana, a nun in Mexico in the 17th century who is a brilliant writer and all-around bad-ass. Warning: the ending is pretty damn dark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTI7H1ohD2M

Impromptu, starring the amazing Judy Davis as George Sand, a successful writer who dresses as a man and sucks the marrow out of every moment and then falls in love with Chopin (Hugh Grant) for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6upEXpPRKY
