Emma 1: Emma the Matchmaker
Explore the techniques filmmakers use, including flashbacks, to transform text into film in this excerpt from the 2009 MASTERPIECE adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. In this scene, one of the earliest in the film and the book, Emma has just bid farewell to her governess, Miss Taylor, who has married Mr. Weston. Although Emma is happy about the match—and in fact was responsible for it—she is also sad about losing her “beloved friend.” This resource is part of the MASTERPIECE Collection.
