0 views • May 5, 2023
To celebrate 20 years of Bridget Jones's Diary, released in April 2001, director Sharon Maguire joins us to reflect on her experiences bringing one of the most iconic and beloved romantic comedy heroines to the big screen, in this event supported by Jaguar. After a painful festive party in which her mother fails to set her up with recently divorced, prickly barrister Mark Darcy, 30-something Bridget Jones decides to set some New Year’s resolutions: she’s going to lose weight, cut out the cigarettes and keep well clear from all the wrong men. Especially the devious, extremely flirty Daniel Cleaver… who just happens to be her boss. #BridgetJones #SharonMaguire #BFISouthbank Woman with a Movie Camera is powered by Jaguar and generously supported by Jane Stanton.

Bridget Jones's Diary
Bridget Jones is an average woman struggling against her age, her weight, her job, her lack of a man, and her various imperfections. As a New Year's resolution, Bridget decides to take control of her life, starting by keeping a diary in which she will always tell the complete truth. The fireworks begin when her charming though disreputable boss takes an interest in the quirky Miss Jones. Thrown into the mix are Bridget's band of slightly eccentric friends and a rather disagreeable acquaintance into whom Bridget cannot seem to stop running or help finding quietly attractive.
