Perhaps it&#8217;s the romantic frocks and frills, or the hyperfocus on traditional Englishness that gives some audiences the displeasure of viewing. I, of course, am no exception. Personally, I tend to veer away from anything too historical looking when scrolling through the choice of films on Netflix or Amazon Prime. As a student of English Literature, I have already developed a dislike for the Regency classics: I never much enjoyed either of the Bront\u251c\u00bds, and Jane Austen&#8217;s completed collection of novels has been sat on my bookshelf for years, untouched.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter <em>Emma. <\/em>As I was begrudgingly dragged along to a screening of the newest adaptation I wondered, am I going to sleep my way through the next two hours? How many pairs of tights will this movie contain? For those who aren&#8217;t familiar with the story, the protagonist Emma Woodhouse &#8211; handsome, clever, and rich &#8211; is somewhat of a socialite among the people of her town. The twenty one year old queen bee (played brilliantly by Anya Taylor-Joy) takes the younger, low-born Harriet (Mia Goth) under her wing, determined to play matchmaker in finding her a husband, though Emma herself is stubborn in expressing \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffno interest in matrimony at present&#8217;. In her quest to set her friend up with a worthy suitor, Emma often overlooks the consequences of her actions. She acts without consideration towards the feelings of others. She is spoiled, self-centred, and selfish. Both she and Harriet place far too much faith in her matchmaking abilities, a fact which sadly can only end in tears.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet.png\" alt=\"Emma the timeless story\" class=\"wp-image-22115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet.png 780w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-414x276.png 414w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-470x313.png 470w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-640x426.png 640w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-130x86.png 130w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/harriet-187x124.png 187w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><figcaption><em>Mia Goth as Harriet <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sound at all familiar? Here&#8217;s a surprise: it took me nearly half an hour to realise that I&#8217;d seen this plot play out before, in none other than the iconic 1995 film <em>Clueless<\/em>, the most contemporary and perhaps well known adaptation of Austen&#8217;s 1817 novel. But how could this be? How could one of my all time favourite and most beloved movies be based around the exact type of literature that I despise? Needless to say that I was both baffled and impressed. I reserved my preconceptions for the remainder of the film, and whilst Amy Heckerling&#8217;s <em>Clueless <\/em>will forever hold a prime place in my heart, Autumn de Wilde&#8217;s <em>Emma.<\/em> was, surprisingly, an absolute joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the first thirty minutes or so were rather slow going, the production on this film alone is enough to warrant congratulations. Alexandra Byrne&#8217;s work on costume is unparalleled (though I counted at least seven pairs of tights, but maybe that&#8217;s a given). The music throughout the film adds movement and value, not to mention the abilities of cast members to play their on-screen instruments themselves. Most notably, what gives <em>Emma. <\/em>its unique spark is the indisputable vivacity of casting. When writing what would be the last novel published in her lifetime, Jane Austen said of Emma that she is a \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffheroine whom no one but myself will much like.&#8217; It must be said that Taylor-Joy&#8217;s performance as the leading lady matches Austen&#8217;s vision. Taylor-Joy has a demanding talent for capturing Emma in all her childish glory. Emma is distinctly unlikable, particularly on Box Hill, where she cruelly humiliates Mrs Bates&#8217; in front of all their friends &#8211; truly \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffbadly done&#8217;.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"713\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/emma-n-jonny-1024x713.jpg\" alt=\"Emma the timeless story\" class=\"wp-image-22116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/emma-n-jonny-1024x713.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/emma-n-jonny-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/emma-n-jonny-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/emma-n-jonny-1536x1069.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/emma-n-jonny.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Anya Taylor-Joy and Jonny Flynn <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnny Flynn (who plays David Bowie in the upcoming movie <em>Stardust<\/em>) does well as a handsomely rugged Mr Knightley, who acts as Emma&#8217;s brother in law and playfully flirtatious critic. The stars of Netflix&#8217;s <em><a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffstudentmedia.co.uk\/quench\/film-tv\/sex-education-season-2-growing-pains\/\">Sex Education<\/a> <\/em>have done well to infiltrate the film, as Connor Swindells and Tanya Reynolds play characters significant to the story&#8217;s development. Other remarkable performances include Miranda Hart&#8217;s Mrs Bates, and the wonderful Bill Nighy as Emma&#8217;s father, both of whom were perfectly cast in laugh-out-loud supporting roles. Though Austen&#8217;s work may not place in my list of favourite novels, there is no mistaking the light-hearted humour and romantic charm that characterises <em>Emma.<\/em> From 1817 to 2020, the story is truly timeless.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the trailer here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N5yLcPzwPvk\"><strong>Emma<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ella Clucas It is an unfortunate fact that not everyone loves a period film.
