I should know better than to watch period drama. Who cares about the bourgeoisie other than the bourgeoisie? Did this version have the purists shaking their sticks? Very soap opera.

Pride & Prejudice (UK, 2005)

Posted on October 25, 2006 by nicklacey

Not a fan of adaptations of classic literature but this is good. Uses steadicam quite effectively and has one coup de theatre (or should that be coupd de cinema?) where the protagonists are suddenly dancing on their own, reflecting their self-absorption in each other. (OAR). http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414387/
