Emma Bovary

The film "Emma Bovary" (2021) is a drama that reimagines Gustave Flaubert's novel as a courtroom trial, exploring the charges of obscenity and offending public morals brought against Madame Bovary. The story unfolds through the trial, bringing Emma's narrative to life and sparking a reality check on the status of women during this time period. Through Camille Metayer's portrayal of Emma Bovary, the film examines what will be the verdict for Flaubert, and more importantly, what it will say about women - particularly all the Emmas like her.
