Director Autumn de Wilde Shows a New Side of the Jane Austen Classic“I’m in love,” says Autumn de Wilde. The multihyphenate artist is talking about movies—feature-length films, to be exact.

De Wilde grew up in Los Angeles with an American father and an English mother, daydreaming about what her life could have been like had she been born in the land of Shakespeare and Jane Austen.Josh O'Connor as Mr. Elton and Tanya Reynolds as Mrs. Elton. is not so much a reimagining of the past as it is both a satirical and a serious nod to it, with period-appropriate costumes, sets, hair and makeup, servants and an all-white cast—all of which help to portray positions of prejudice within this particular upper echelon of society in 19th-century England.
“Jane Austin wrote such incredible characters,” de Wilde adds, “male and female; she was a very astute observer of the human condition and relationships between men and women and desires.”, with the character Mr. Knightley sticking out in particular.
