Storyline
Emma Woodhouse has a rigid sense of propriety as regards matrimonial alliances. Unfortunately she insists on matchmaking for her less forceful friend, Harriet, and so causes her to come to grief. Through the sharp words of Mr. Knightley, and the example of the opinionated Mrs. Elton, someone not unlike herself, Emma’s attitudes begin to soften.

Jane Austen’s witty heroines and dashing yet complex romantic interests have been adapted very often to cinema and TV.
Every adaptation of the classic tale of pride and privilege starred by the irrepressibly likable heroine Emma.
“Adapting a book is nerve-wracking because there's an audience who loves the book, and what if they see the movie and hate it?”
