Emma

Part of Depot's Book to Film Club

In this adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel, pretty socialite Emma Woodhouse entertains herself by playing matchmaker for those around her.

Her latest "project" is Harriet Smith, an unpretentious debutant, while Emma herself receives the attentions of the dashing Frank Churchill.

However, Emma's attempts at matchmaking cause more problems than solutions and may ultimately jeopardise her own chance at love and happiness.

'Gwyneth Paltrow makes a resplendent Emma, gliding through the film with an elegance and patrician wit that bring the young Katharine Hepburn to mind' - Janet Maslin, New York Times
