About this product

Product Information

This version of Jane Austen's fiercely beloved novel has the daunting task of living up not only to the classic book, but also to the excellent 1995 miniseries of the same name. Yet 2005's PRIDE & PREJUDICE is up to the task, thanks to lively pacing, a witty script, an excellent cast, and clever direction from British newcomer Joe Wright. The surprisingly still-relevant story follows the five Bennet sisters as they deal with suitors and love, as their mother desperately schemes to marry them off advantageously. Sweet-tempered beauty Jane (Rosamund Pike) develops feelings for the equally amiable and extremely wealthy Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods), but forces conspire to keep them apart--while Lizzie (Keira Knightley) finds herself first appalled by, but gradually drawn to, Bingley's aloof, intelligent, and socially awkward friend, Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFayden). The movie, at just over two hours, is forced to cut and condense a number of the book's subplots, and at times it tries to heighten the drama of certain scenes. But, for the most part, it's as faithful to the spirit of the original as time and cinematic convention allow.The tremendous supporting cast includes Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennet and Donald Sutherland as her wry, withdrawn husband; Jena Malone as teenage twit Lydia; Judi Dench, effortlessly haughty and imperious, as Lady Catherine de Bourg; and Tom Hollander, who steals every scene he's in as the ludicrously pompous and awkward Mr. Collins. The movie's script, adapted by Deborah Moggach, manages to be proto-feminist without becoming anachronistic--and, like the novel, it is incisive about the class politics and gender inequalities of the day.

  • The best version ever

    I knoe that the lead character isn't supposed to be beautiful, and who's prettier than Ms Knightly, but she plays her role perfectly, and with an excellent supporting cast. You won't want it to end.

  • Jane Austen's masterpiece well done on film.

    I really liked this movie and it did the book justice. Donald Sutherland is subtly superb as the father and head of a household of women. I loved him in this. It is a wonderful love story and a look into that period of history.

  • Pride and Prejudice (2005) dvd

    This is one of my favorite movies ever. The characters, plot, setting, and dialogue are perfect for the Jane Austen novel. It is extremely close to the book, and any liberties taken fit wonderfully.

  • Well done movie...for those who admire English drama

    Purchased this video because it was featuring Keira Knightley, Judi Dench & Donald Sutherland. Enjoyed it greatly. The minor problem I had in this video, was that in scenes with mother & girls, they all gabbled at the same time, making it difficult to understand what they were saying. However I did get the gist, & very much liked the movie.

  • Lovely

    I could go on and on about this movie. The actors couldn't have been chosen better for all of the rolls. Costumes and musical score both perfect. To say that it is beautifully filmed is an understatement. It all just blends together in a way that the viewer has to experience for themselves to really appreciate. Keira Knightley and Mathew McFadden are just incredible together in every scene. It's a must see work of art. You will be so glad you did. Then I'd double dog dare ya not to watch it again. : )
