Emma (1996): Spring

March 20, 2019

Spring is sprung and it is a wonderful time to open up your windows and enjoy the fresh air. And while you are enjoying the chilly breezes of spring, might I suggest watching a film full of flowers and gardens and springy romance. Adapted from a Jane Austen novel and set in the 1800's, this story follows Emma, a privileged young woman who takes joy in playing matchmaker with people she knows. Her efforts however are not always correct or appreciated. Meanwhile, Emma is curious about her personal feelings towards romance and relationships. This movie is set in the upper class of estates of the English and therefore has some gorgeous garden and flower scenes. The dresses are long and flowy and romantic. Everything about this film, from the setting to the blossoming romance evokes a feeling of springtime. I definitely recommend putting this on your watch list.
