Film Showing! Emma! Next Monday!

Knightley: "It was badly done indeed!" 
We'll be screening the entire 1996 BBC adaptation of Emma (with Kate Beckinsale, Mark Strong, Samantha Morton, Olivia Williams, etc..) on Monday, November 5th at 5:30 in the Tiger Cinema.  Where is the Tiger Cinema?  It's on the top floor of the University Center near the Wellness center.  Just come to the top floor and I'll be waiting around to direct people to the right place. 

Remember, you don't have to come to the screening, but we will spend all of Tuesday's class discussing the adaptation and the choices they made.  Also, an essay in our book discusses this very adaptation of Emma, so you should read it before hand to aid in our analysis: David Monaghan, "Emma and the Art of Adaptation" (pp.449-456).  You're welcome to watch this version yourself OR watch another version, but again, I do want to discuss this version at length on Tuesday.  Plus, it will be fun to watch the film together and make comments in the manner of Mystery Science Theater (if this reference means anything to you).  Hope you can make it!
