I've never read the novel or seen the 1995 TV adapation with Colin Firth, but this 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice is wonderful.
First off, it's a beautiful film. The scenery is gorgeous.. it was all filmed on location around the UK, some of the places I've actually visited. I especially like the wide shots of Lizzie walking. They last quite a while and are just gorgeous. And the scene of Lizzie in Pemberley looking at the sculptures is really lovely. The cinematography is excellent. It's just such a wonderful film to watch.
The acting is very good too. I especially like Brenda Blethyn as the very excitable Mrs Bennet. There's some good comedic moments with her. Same with Mr Collins. Amusing to watch.
The soundtrack, by Dario Marianelli, is superb. It fits the film perfectly. One of the most enjoyable soundtracks I've heard. Add this to the excellent acting, scenery and overall story, and you've got a wonderful film that you can watch over and over.
And if only people still dressed like that.
10/10
