Short description
Four sisters come of age in America in the aftermath of the Civil War.
What's left behind the scenes
- Timothée Chalamet improvised during the love confession scene.
- Emma Stone was initially considered for the role of Meg, but she was unable to participate in the project due to the promotional campaign for Yorgos Lanthimos's "The Favourite" (2018).
- The 1868 novel by Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888), upon which the film is based, was published in installments, meaning the first half was released before the author had even conceived the ending. The scenes involving Jo and her publisher describe conversations the author actually had with her publisher regarding whether Jo should be married off in the finale, and if so, to whom.
- The script did not include the heroine, played by Florence Pugh, getting married. Meryl Streep, who played Aunt March, suggested including it. The speech text was written right before filming this scene.
- The film received six Academy Award nominations. The 1933, 1949, and 1994 adaptations received a total of eight nominations and won two Oscars.
- The film crew had to employ various tricks to conceal Timothée Chalamet's actual height (about 178 centimeters).
- The film was shot in the state of Massachusetts.
- The March house was created to look unremarkable from the outside, but bright and colorful inside. The film crew nicknamed it the “jewel box.”
- Louis Garrel played Friedrich Bhaer, and he spoke with a distinct French accent. Friedrich's homeland is never mentioned, but he has a German name. In the 1994 adaptation, Friedrich was played by Irish actor Gabriel Byrne, who spoke with a German accent.
