Interesting take ( ... )

This adaptation is by far my favourite Emma. Davies manages to condense what is a very lengthy and complex novel, without sacrificing any minor characters or subplots, and retains Austen's caustic wit, by lifting chunks of dialogue directly from the page. The 2009 BBC version had more than twice as long, yet seemed flat and spiritless in comparison.
