Wandering through the Shelves hosts a weekly movie challenge in which you choose 3-5 movies based on that Thursday’s theme and explain why you chose those movies.
Emma was one of the last movies I saw in the theaters before COVID hit. It was so delightful and romantic, and I realized I have truly adored every movie based on Austen’s novels (so far!). Anya Taylor-Joy was fantastic as Emma, and her chemistry with Johnny Flynn was off the charts. You can read my review for Emma here!
I know that Moulin Rouge is a musical, but I think it fits in the period drama category as well. I adore Baz Luhrmann and his style of film. It’s always so colorful and vibrant. I loved Moulin Rouge when it was released. Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman falling in love… swoon. It’s a movie I can’t watch often, mostly because the ending always makes me depressed, but I do listen to the soundtrack quite often (sort of like Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet!). I’ll review this movie for the site someday, but for now, it’s my third choice for this week’s TMP.
