EMMA.
Recommended. A most delightful period piece: elaborate, embroidered and crocheted costumes, splendid hats, stunning hairstyles, impeccable set design - lavish, historic interiors, speckless outdoors and the combination of these elements, e.g. Emma standing in a white dress with embroidered flowering plants right under a lilac in blossom, are pure perfection. Directed by Autumn de Wilde - a photographer known for portraiture work. The adaptation of immortal Jane Austen's is all stately which doesn't hinder irony but also surprises with touching moments on occasions. Wonderfully acted, especially by Anna Taylor-Joy as Emma, Mia Goth as Harriet, Josh O'Connor as Elton. Can be seen either as a warning that even in a perfect world feelings can reduce you to tears or, better, as a happy-go-lucky tale about carefree lives. The music comprises of: traditional, Mozart, Haydn, some Beethoven.
The dialogues are so rich in advanced level personality adjectives I should use the film in class.
