A romance ahead of its time.

My rating: 3 out of 5

Based on Jane Austen’s beloved novel, the classic tale of love and values unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late 18th century. The five Bennet sisters – including strong-willed Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and young Lydia (Jena Malone) – have all been raised by their mother (Brenda Blethyn) with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Amongst the man’s sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and – it would seem – snobbish Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), the battle of the sexes is joined.

Konstigt att man kan göra en film som nästan inte handlar om något. Bara några personers öden och missförstånd beroende på deras stolthet och fördommar. Inte riktigt en film i min smak. Men den var ok. Den hade sina ljusglimtar och skådespelet ver det inget fel på.
