Persuasion (KCET Sunday at 9 p.m.) Literate, sophisticated, bitingly funny, this 1995 release is a Cinderella romance so delicious you never want it to end. Its story has a poignancy that director Roger Michell and screenwriter Nick Dear (both veterans of the Royal Shakespeare Company) effectively blend into the usual Austen mix of courtship and clever satire. Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinnds star.
