Abstract

At the onset of her sixtieth decade, Emma Thompson remains a prolific actress, whilst 'age' has become a more salient trait in her cinematic roles. While in the film Late Night(2019) she depicts a critical moment in the life of a successful late-night talk-show host
whose career seems to reach a dead end when she turns sixty, in Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022) she presents the personal quest of a recently widowed woman to feel sexual pleasure for the first time in her life.
