Pride and Prejudice

In this solid and likeable new version of Austen's timeless novel, director Wright and screenwriter Deborah Moggach cut the source material down to size allowing time for the secondary tales to develop while never losing sight of the all pervading romance between Darcy and Elizabeth.

Like the novel, it makes for a tale full of plot twists and emotional turbulence without ever acquiring the mannered subtlety of Ang Lee's 'Sense and Sensibility'.
