'My goal was to humanize the story, not to modernize it,' director autumndewilde says of Emma.
Director Autumn de Wilde Shows a New Side of the Jane Austen Classic“I’m in love,” says Autumn de Wilde. The multihyphenate artist is talking about movies—feature-length films, to be exact. De Wilde—who got her start shooting CD covers for musicians like The White Stripes and Elliott Smith, then went on to direct music videos for The Decemberists and Death Cab for Cutie—has jumped into the narrative movie world with a classic:.
De Wilde grew up in Los Angeles with an American father and an English mother, daydreaming about what her life could have been like had she been born in the land of Shakespeare and Jane Austen.Josh O'Connor as Mr. Elton and Tanya Reynolds as Mrs. Elton. is not so much a reimagining of the past as it is both a satirical and a serious nod to it, with period-appropriate costumes, sets, hair and makeup, servants and an all-white cast—all of which help to portray positions of prejudice within this particular upper echelon of society in 19th-century England.
“Jane Austin wrote such incredible characters,” de Wilde adds, “male and female; she was a very astute observer of the human condition and relationships between men and women and desires.”, with the character Mr. Knightley sticking out in particular. In him, she saw, every cop show where the female and the male police officers argue all the time, but really, they love each other.
