Although released early into the 2020 film season, Autumn de Wilde’s highly stylized revamp of the classic Jane Austin novel, “Emma,” has recently taken on a new found popularity. While “Emma.” came out slightly before statewide quarantines were put in place, it fits perfectly into the escapist nostalgia that closely followed weeks of homebound living. Many of those stuck at home found a certain serenity in those films that took them to lush places outside of the shortcomings of the modern world; there was something alluring about a pre-industrial society.
This same yearning for escape has caused the rise in trends such as the cottage core aesthetic, so it only makes sense that the viewership of period piece romances has also increased.
