Molly Shannon, Amy Seimetz, Susan Ziegler, and Brett Gelman on Emily Dickinson’s hidden wild side

Informed by Emily Dickinson’s private letters, Wild Nights With Emily presents itself as a “bold reappraisal” of the prolific American poet, and a “critique of how women’s history is rewritten.” Ahead of its release, we spoke with the cast—Molly Shannon, Amy Seimetz, Susan Ziegler, and Brett Gelman—and director Madeleine Olnek about the film.
