I’m not a fan of romantic love movies, I’d rather watch Star Wars. I still found Greta Gerwig’s novel adaptation “Little Women” exciting. These are four sisters who grew up on the American East Coast in the mid-19th century. The father has left in civil war, the girls live with their mother in modest but very liberal circumstances. One wants to be a writer, the other dreams of marrying a rich man, the third just wants to play the piano and the fourth is in love with the boy next door – but she loves her sister, the writer.
Little Women is a beautiful film with not only four wonderful protagonists (Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Eliza Scanlen and my favourite Florence Pugh), but also touching emotions: sister love, jealousy and the desire of young women to go their separate way. I had tears in my eyes at least three times in the cinema and that really means something. “Little Women” is nominated for six Oscars at the 92nd Academy Awards on Feb. So come on with the romantic floral dresses, denim jackets and boots – I want to look like a mix of Jo and Amy now.
