Clothes call: Johnny Flynn breaks down his Emma costumes and that changing scene
’s Emma Woodhouse about Frank Churchill inIn Autumn de Wilde’s feature directing debut, Flynn strips Knightley down to bare essentials with an early dressing scene of the sort usually reserved for female protagonists in lush period pieces. EW recently caught up with Flynn to break down Knightley’s garb and that particular sequence from head to toe.We first meet Mr. Knightley as he dresses for the day.
Introducing Kightley this way also helps establish the intimacy between him and Emma right away. “In the novel, you’re in Emma’s psychological space all of the time, and you very slowly get the picture of the things that she is preoccupied with,” Flynn says. “By seeing Knightley in his intimate space, in his household, you get a little bit of what Emma’s sense of him is as well. They’re so intimate with each other; they’ve known each other for years.
Flynn says this was a feeling persistent throughout production, one he felt stemmed from having a female-driven set with de Wilde at the helm. “I’m always grateful to be in a female-led environment,” he says. “I get on better instinctively with women. There is a flow. In the spirit of men, there is often a level of competition, and I don’t feel that often when you’re working and being led by a woman. There is not necessarily the same need to prove themselves.
