When Elizabeth Bennet meets the handsome Mr. Darcy, she believes he is the last man she could ever marry, until she finds herself captivated by the man she has sworn to hate forever. 20th anniversary screening.
A special screening in honor of Jane Austen’s 250th birthday, Joe Wright’s Pride & Prejudice has become one of the most beloved adaptations of Austen’s work, thanks in no small part to standout performances from Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen and a modern filmmaking sensibility that makes the familiar story fresh and enjoyable. Free posters for the first 50 attendees! [129 min; romance, drama; English]
“It is historically evocative, visually transporting and an exuberant romantic comedy that adheres to its source while spinning its own artful energy.” — Debera Carlton, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"The cast of Bennet sisters are young and credible, their group scenes are filmed with hip Altmanesque overlapping dialogue, while the director Joe Wright’s roaming camera gives every exchange an unexpected urgency." — Kevin Maher, The Times (UK)
"Wright wastes no time in squeezing the plot into his just-over-two hours running time, but the film never feels rushed, particularly when so much of it is spent watching and waiting, as the characters come to understand the world they live in." — Kevin Phipps, AV Club
