ROM-COM MOVIE SUNDAYS #3

Pride & Prejudice (2005), directed by Joe Wright, is an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel that follows Elizabeth Bennet, a clever and independent young woman, and her complicated relationship with the reserved Mr Darcy in the rural England of the 19th century.

Between balls, family visits and sharp remarks about marriage and social class, the film shows how both their pride and prejudice are put to the test. With Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen in the lead roles, it is a romantic drama that combines bucolic landscapes, sharp dialogue and an emotional tension that builds up to the inevitable declaration of love.
