Adapted and directed by Greta Gerwig, LITTLE WOMEN (2019) was recognized with a 2019 AFI AWARD, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “LITTLE WOMEN infuses a literary classic with new life – adapting Louisa May Alcott’s immortal words into a tale for our times. Greta Gerwig’s mastery of the material allows for her vision to soar while never straying from Alcott’s self-stated themes – ‘domesticity, work and true love.’ This monumental achievement is brought to life by a creative ensemble of infinite talent, but the story belongs to Saoirse Ronan’s Jo March – a character that rises from the pages of the past to stand tall as a heroine for all genders and generations.” With an all-star cast led by Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Emma Scanlan and Timothée Chalamet, the film also features a supporting performance from AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Meryl Streep.
