Emma.

It’s a familiar, corset-flick, Jane Austen adaptation. Filmmakers do a great job of keeping the plot moving and performances are all top-notch. The set designers and costumers were freebasing LSD, apparently, because there’s spectacular design in this. There are a couple of teeny-tiny little moments in which the filmmakers try to tell the story in a slightly atypical way. Using the camera, the filmmakers take us in closely to a finger touch or a hand hold; something that might seem minor in the modern age, but was probably a BIG FUCKING DEAL to Emma and her contemporaries. It’s a very-well executed version of its type of thing.
