Emma (2020) based on the book Emma (1815) by Jane Austen

Jane Austen’s sharp social satire gets a fresh, stylish update in Emma. Anya Taylor-Joy stars as the charming yet meddling heroine who fancies herself a skilled matchmaker—until her romantic plans unravel in delightfully unexpected ways. Directed by Autumn de Wilde, the film embraces Austen’s wit and elegance with a vibrant visual palette, period-perfect detail, and a playful spirit. The screenplay by Eleanor Catton keeps the original language intact while infusing it with a modern comedic rhythm, appealing to both Austen purists and newcomers.
