"A Rose for Emily" is an American English-language live action short film from 1983, so next year it will have its 35th anniversary. This is based on a story by William Faulkner and it got adapted by H. Kaye Dyal. The director is Lyndon Chubbuck and this is actually his very first career work. he is still making movies today. I personally felt at times that this one looked a bit British, but it is not. The biggest name in the cast is Anjelica Huston and it's not too common I guess that you have an Oscar winner in a 30-minute movie and there are more Oscar nominees in here. It is a drama with a bit of a dark background, so calling it a bit of a mystery movie, maybe even a horror film is also not too absurd. Now for the story, I thought it was okay, even if I never found it too interesting or developed great interest in the character of Emily Grierson, which certainly was a negative deal breaker in my very case. But I also must say I did not know about this Faulkner work before seeing this one. If you know it perhaps, then you will enjoy it more, so I guess I'd only recommend it to those that like or even love Faulkner's work. Everybody else can skip it.
