2020 DCP| UK | D: Autumn de Wilde 
 
Like the works of William Shakespeare, Jane Austen’s timeless novels are constantly studied, adapted and consumed afresh, by audiences of all ages 
 
Autumn de Wilde’s film adaptation is a playful contribution to the ever-growing Austen canon, starring Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) and Josh O’Connor (The Crown) alongside comedic giants Bill Nighy and Miranda Hart. A joyous take on the much-loved classic, de Wilde’s Emma is a quippy romp of period frivolity that still delivers Austin’s sharp satire of Georgian high society. 
 
Autumn de Wilde’s adaptation ramps up the comedy, but Anya Taylor-Joy remains wonderfully edgy as Jane Austen’s meddling heroine – The Guardian 
 
The screening will be followed by a discussion of the film and the novel. 

discounted season pass is available for the Book Club at the NFSA program. Learn more
