    Wild Nights with Emily

    Madeleine OLNEK 2018 USA Fiction b/w & color 84min English DCP
    Emily DICKINSON was often described as a fragile recluse who spent her life holed up in her childhood home, a shrinking violet spinster too timid to publish her poems. Forget all that. In this delightfully funny historical burlesque, Madeleine OLNEK offers a refreshing, much-needed reappraisal of DICKINSON as an ambitious, vivacious rebel whose passionate, lifelong love affair with childhood friend and later sister-in-law Susan GILBERT fueled her creativity.
    Balancing irreverent humor with a tender love story, the film challenges the sexist historical record, brilliantly reclaiming the writer’s reputation as a lesbian icon and a feminist trailblazer.
