Pride & Prejudice:

20^th Anniversary!

In Georgian England, Mrs. Bennet (Brenda Blethyn) raises her five daughters – Jane (Rosamund Pike), Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), Mary (Talulah Riley), Kitty (Carey Mulligan), and Lydia (Jena Malone) with the purpose of getting married with a rich husband that can support the family. They are not from the upper class, and their house in Hertfordshire will be inherited by a distant cousin if Mr. Bennet (Donald Sutherland) dies. When the wealthy bachelor Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods) and his best friend Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) arrive in town to spend the summer in a mansion nearby their property, the shy and beautiful Jane falls in love for Mr. Bingley, and Elizabeth finds Mr. Darcy a snobbish and proud man, and she swears to loathe him forever.

Co-written by Deborah Moggach and Oscar-winner Emma Thompson (Sense and Sensibility), BAFTA-nominee Joe Wright’s (Atonement) adaptation of Jane Austen’s epic romance celebrates 20-years of swooning audiences with his sparkling romance and self-assured wit.

2005, 129 minutes, UK/USA/France, Directed by Joe Wright, Rated PG

“A stellar adaptation, bewitching the viewer completely and incandescently with an exquisite blend of emotion and wit.”
– Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
“Keira Knightley, in a witty, vibrant, altogether superb performance, plays Lizzie's sparky, questing nature as a matter of the deepest personal sacrifice.”
– Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“There's something more REAL about this version, more human, more lived-in; though their words may have been penned 200 years ago, when Austen was a young woman writing about her idealized self, this cast and crew nudge the material into the now.”
– Robert Wilonsky, DALLAS OBSERVER
“Of Austen's novels, none is more beloved than this one, so it's good to see it once again brought to the screen with the pride which it deserves.”
– James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
“Romantic yearning hasn't looked this sexy onscreen in years.”
– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
