The soundtrack for the 2020 Emma is witty, clever, and romantic all at the same time. In many ways, listening to this soundtrack is like reading Jane Austen's writing. Each character has a clear and distinctive theme that describes their personality. Class distinction is heard with a variety of classical and folk music. Considering that this was the last movie I saw in theaters the weekend before lockdown, I may have listened to this adaptation a lot in 2020 and 2021! The proposal music is currently my alarm clock so that probably tells you a lot right there in bringing joy to my heart in a harder season. While this version is a bit more controversial especially if you don't like the folk music or portrayal of Emma, the music by Isobel Waller-Bridge and David Schweitzer is definitely worth paying attention to.
