“One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else.” — Roger Ebert
SYNOPSIS
Jane Austen’s enduring comedy of manners receives a lushly romantic treatment in Joe Wright’s feature directorial debut, an adaptation distinguished by its youthful energy, tactile period detail, and exhilarating sense of movement. Keira Knightley stars as Elizabeth Bennet, the fiercely intelligent second-eldest of five sisters whose family’s precarious social position makes the question of marriage an urgent concern. When she encounters the wealthy, aloof Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), mutual attraction is complicated by wounded pride, mistaken impressions, and the rigid expectations of class and propriety. Wright brings Austen’s world to bustling life through fluid camerawork, crowded interiors, windswept landscapes, and an unusually physical attention to glances, gestures, and fleeting touches, while Knightley and Macfadyen generate a romantic tension built as much from what remains unspoken as what is said. Intimate yet sweeping, Pride & Prejudice finds the beating heart beneath Austen’s social observation without sacrificing the wit and intelligence that have kept her novel alive for generations.
