Bridget Jones at 20 - director Sharon Maguire in conversation | BFI Woman with a Movie Camera Q&A
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.
