Around film

a continuation is given to film in 2004: Bridget Jones: The Age of Enlightenment ( Bridget Jones: The Edge off Reason ) of Beeban Kidron, always with Renee Zellweger.
the film is rather freely adapted homonymous novel because it borrows also certain situations from the second volume, " The Age of Raison". Despite everything, one always manages to recognize literary work who had inspired the novel of origin, namely Orgueil and prejudged of Jane Austen, whose Bridget Jones is a modern adaptation. This is why the Prince charming is called Darcy in two works.
