Set 1: Emma vs. Clueless
Jane Austen’s novel Emma dates from the early 1800s and explores the adventures of a young woman of means who serves as a matchmaker for her friends but has poor luck herself in finding a mate. Compare the expression of this story in the two films for which the trailers are presented here.
