The (Over) Perfectionism of the Newest "Emma" Film Adaptation

Inger S. B. Brodey at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Inger S. B. Brodey* *Literature, World* Let's take a closer look. The latest film adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic “Emma” is a visual feast of color, pattern and texture.

Perfection features explicitly in both de Wilde’s film, which has been given an early digital release as theaters close due to ... more »
