Anya Taylor-Joy, the film's heroine

It plays many screen adaptations of Jane Austen 's Emma - faithful, like the earliest BBC version from 1948 to Perplexed, what is The Action of the 1990s, moved to California. Director autumn de Wilde the film returns Emma to Regency England - to say But a lot about life in the year 2020.

De Wilde made her name as a stills photographer and Director-videos for bands such as Florence + The Machine and Death Cab for Cutie.

It is not a career-path is assigned automatically when someone Austen her feature film debut with Jane-film adaptation. But de Wilde is far from standard Hollywood product, and your love for history is obvious. She is fascinated by what can Austen's saying insights are still with us today.

"I have no concerns about the modernization of The World , the Emma , But I have concern about the humanization of it for a modern audience," she said.

"We still have the same problems. There are tyrants, and the people who are so sure they are not tyrants, But they really are. It is the same social pressure. There are class divisions, and we have the invisible wars on The Internet . I don't think, to change people That much.

"Our World is breaking Los, basically, on the fire, and the hell - or maybe we are just now seeing it for real.

"But in the midst of all this, we have the same personal problems That Austen wrote about 200 years. We think, 'Oh, I Wonder if so-and-so me like it. "Or," You're my Best Friend , so now you have to do a certain thing'. All That 'I hate Him - I love Him - I want you all to me' stuff never goes away. This fact is comforting? Sometimes I think it is frightening. "

Some of the Austen-fans of the novel the main character Emma Woodhouse is The Most fascinating of her heroines. At the beginning of the story, published in 1815, Emma seems to be very self-aware, But their Repartee can mangle.

Austen shows her learning, a level of humanity and, finally, the determination of the correct twists and turns in the Labyrinth of relationships.

In the new version, she is played by Anya Taylor-Joy. At 23, she has already attracted attention in such films as Thoroughbreds and Split

"I think That if Emma is still alive today, she would as the Queen of Social Media . Would you live your life through a filter, and the attempt, in a certain way. But by the end of the story you wrote Austen changed, so I suspect they would take a break and go on trips to try to find themselves," says Taylor-Joy.

"at least when we first meet her, she is confident That she knows how other people should live. She is a dictator of taste, and a perfect Social Media influencer would. "

Taylor-Joy, says de Wilde is a modern-day Emma , But is quick to add That in your case is a positive. "The autumn brings people together and makes the games awesome, which is what thinks of my figure, she is good.

"the autumn has helped me to modulate a lot of places where we had Emma 's character. Sometimes she's mean and bitchy, But sometimes she is sensitive. So there were scenes, such as when I contend with Johnny Flynn [who plays George Knightley ], when autumn would always run the camera, and we would, several times, shoot without a break, But with a bit of other thoughts in Emma 's head every time. It was intoxicating to. "

Taylor-Joy says, it's still very rare to find a movie with a female main character, female screenwriter and Director. "It would be nice to think That next time, when the movie awards show things are changing. "

she says most of the people know That someone like Emma , or maybe you have aspects of your.

"in any case, there are times to shake if I wanted to, Emma . Without giving too much away, it is a decisive moment, when she says something cruel to the character of Miss Bates , [Miranda Hart ]. Miss Bates is destroyed on the ground and it was a difficult scene, But I went to Miranda and gave her a big hug. "

After 205 years, it is probably not a spoiler to say That at the end of the story, Emma begins, the true nature of their feelings for their friend and brother-in-law, George Knightley .

"Emma , first of all, a young person is clearly go with a trip," Flynn says. "But I think That your compassion, because she has a lot to learn about yourself.

"If you write her off too early you're really write off all Young People . Because we are not all, as in 20 or 21? You think you know The World so well, And Then you will have an experience That allows you to take stock of what you know. "

Flynn thinks double standards in the game are judged in the way, Emma , as a young woman.

Johnny Flynn plays Mr. Knightley

"In a Young Male heroes, brilliance, and early maturity could be interpreted as a wit and flair. But the same qualities in a woman That may be as irritating. I think Jane Austen was aware of it. "

The New Zealand writer Eleanor Catton drama had to build tables form for Austen's story.

In 2013, her novel The lights won The Man Booker Prize (she is the youngest winner yet), and it is also written in the six-part Bbc Two adaptation seen later this year. She says the adaptation of her own novel was a grueling process, she was pleased to be asked to take on the Austen.

"My relationship with My Own work is not more threatening, what would I have to know because on the side But . As an Adapter you start as a reader-and That is completely different. I'd never read the book, and when I did I found the shape so perfect.

"But with Autumn de Wilde we are talking not only about The Narrative and formal Elements - we talked about the fate of all the characters. The autumn brought with it a heat That was a huge help.

"We both loved the original, But even more important is we have loved it for the same reasons. And I think we agreed on what didn't work for some adjustments. But the movies are intense, the community, and there is huge input from the camera, and others - and, of course, the cast.

"Josh O'connor, for example, plays Mr. Elton, the vicar, with a lot of Humor. And early on, Bill Nighy certain points, as I have written on The Role of Emma 's father did, and we changed the characterization. "

Most of the movie was visited Firle Place in East Sussex , the Catton, to see some of the movies.

"are you very much aware That the writer is a person who has nothing to do. At the end you will encounter The Set and tripping over the power cord.

"But It makes for a very intoxicating spirit, and it is very easy to fall around to Fall In love with everyone around you. Mainly because the actors are usually very good looking - it makes it even easier. It is not like writing a novel. "
