Nevertheless, she instantly made the story her own by giving the all too familiar narrative a shake-up to freshen the story for both new eyes and die-hard Alcott enthusiasts. With the feature films of the 30s, 40s and 90s boasting numerous Academy Award wins and nominations, as well as ensemble casts of Hollywood’s greatest talents at the time, Greta Gerwig certainly had very big shoes to fill.
ELIZA SCANLEN LITTLE WOMEN MOVIE
Little Women will be the Greta Gerwig movie that will establish her as one of the most important filmmakers of the 21st century.Ĭounting the first feature film adaptation all the way back in 1918, this 2019 release marks the 5th time that Lousia May Alcott’s work has been adapted for the big screen (it may be more accurate to say it’s the 6th adaptation but I’m not struck on the idea of counting the 2017 modern-day Hallmark flick). To cut a long story short, I did not have very high expectations for Greta Gerwig’s adaptation of “Little Women”, but it was oh so wonderful to have my grumpy preconceptions pleasantly shattered. Largely, I’m genuinely disinterested in most other film outings, but this transforms into anger at the constant stream of sequels, remakes and reboots. I’m alarmed to find myself in some kind of survival mode, adopting the defence mechanism of delving into the films of my childhood to emulate the cliche of “simpler times”. Once sumptuous treats are now ashes in my mouth, and while visiting the cinema was once a beloved past-time, it now feels like a chore and more tragically even a waste of my precious time.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – DECEMBER 7: Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Saoirse Ronan attend “Little Women” World Premiere on Decemat Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The smock dress featured sheer organza sleeves and an embellished bib neck, which Ronan completed with ’60s accessories: a block boot and winged eye. And last but most certainly not least, Saoirse Ronan in Gucci Spring / Summer 2020. Australian actress Eliza Scanlen was next, in high-necked, balloon-sleeved Khaite from Fall 2019, the spectacular white gown was adorned with an embellished belt and finished with a slick of glossy peach across lids.
Then there was Florence Pugh, swathed in brilliant blue Valentino Couture, the dramatic taffeta mini dress recalled the glorious, gaudy ’80s, both fun and frivolous. Attending the premiere of “ Little Women” at the Museum of Modern Art, Emma Watson, Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh and Eliza Scanlen made a splash in the fashion stakes wearing awe-inspiring pieces straight off the Spring / Summer and Fall runways.įirst there was our favourite feminist prophet, actress and activist Emma Watson, who made a bold fashion choice in Balenciaga Spring / Summer 2020, one side bravely tucked into a thigh-high velvet boot, adding an unexpected kick (literally) to the sweeping macabre gown. It was a big night of fashion in New York City last night.
