Molly Shannon and Susan Ziegler in Wild Nights with Emily (2018)

The poet Emily Dickinson's persona, long popularized since her death, has been that of a virginal retiring spinster - a delicate wallflower, too sensitive for this world. In this affecting comedy of manners, Molly Shannon captures the vivacious, irreverent side of Emily Dickinson that her literary executors chose to efface - most notably Emily's lifelong romantic relationship with her sister-in-law Susan.

Anecdotes
Originally performed as a play by the film's director, who extensively researched with support from Harvard University Press and the Guggenheim Foundation.

Gaffes
After Susan brings the newspaper to show Emily her published poem, she (sarcastically) wishes Emily a Happy Valentine's Day as she exits. In the next shot, a tree with full foliage can be seen out the window. There are definitely no leaves on the trees in Amherst, Massachusetts in mid-February.

more insight into emily dickinson

Starring... molly shannon, susan ziegler as emily dickinson and susan gilbert. Beautiful poetry, written as sonnets to "someone", with the name removed at some point. This version of dickinson's life and loves is much more blatant, with kissing and physical closeness occurring on camera. And a brief appearance by "kate", who stays with emily, making susan jealous. Although the character of kate doesn't appear in davies' film quiet passion. Susan would later marry emily's brother austin, ostensibly so they could be close. Cards at the end tell us that susan's daughter would write a book, confirming the truths and loves of emily's dickinson. Written and directed by madeleine olnek. This seems to have started as a play, performed in several houses around the country, according to wikipedia. It's well done, although a little confusing, with the frequent shifting back and forth in time. Mostly good!
