When a film broke with convention, as Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette did in 2006, retribution was swift and decisive: boos at the Cannes Film Festival and a tepid reception from critics and viewers followed (the film has since undergone a critical reassessment and become a cult classic). The hyphen makes the word way too busy and self-serious—when you're sexually obsessed, there's no time for hyphens, only time to revel in someone's sweet, sweet cunt. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. As the Merchant Ivory heyday and 1990s Austenmania gave way to a new class of glossy, Oscar-friendly royal biopics and historical dramas, genre conventions crystalized, becoming a rigid set of expectations seldom broken in mainstream Hollywood. If the traditional period heroine is kindly, perhaps a little strong-willed but ultimately a good girl, then 2020’s Emma with her glassy eyes and just-this-side-of mean girl barbs inhabits a greyer zone.The veneer of whiteness in period cinema is cracking elsewhere, however, as 2020’s The Personal History of David Copperfield demonstrates.
