Review of Emma. (2020) by Asclepius — 09 Mar 2020
The film production saved this one, but let's face it: what we have here is just another Austen adaptation, and Austen seems to run only one plot: one noble man rises above the rest in a world of frivolous social conventions, hopefully lifting up the "heroine" in some way.
Social commentaries, they most certainly are, but Austen always seems to beg the question: why bother to begin with? The answer must necessarily be found -- due to no other possible explanation -- in the hats and the scenery, which filmmakers have relied upon for years to salvage these detestable stories.
