Adapted and directed by Greta Gerwig, LITTLE WOMEN (2019) was recognized with an 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.”
