No miracle is ever too small.
Our Page To Screen series in March goes towards dark-edged fantasy with A Little Princess, director Alfonso Cuarón’s lush and emotional adaptation of A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
When her father enlists to fight for the British in WWI, young Sara Crewe goes to New York to attend the same boarding school her late mother attended. She soon clashes with the severe headmistress, Miss Minchin, who attempts to stifle Sara’s creativity and sense of self-worth.
Visually rich and deeply felt, A Little Princess has grown into a beloved 90s classic, a reminder that a little bit of fantasy can transform even the darkest circumstances.
