Feast for the eyes and ears

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2005)

The sensuality, beauty, and love of detail used to create this masterpiece make it a must for the "cultured" moviegoer. The casting, cinematography, music, costume, as well as period etiquette used to create this film make it a work-of-art of utmost beauty.
The world of Jane Austen has been portrayed in such wonderful way. The social and psycho- social conflicts of Austen's time are reflected in an uncorrupted way from Austen's point of view. It is an uncorrupted reflection of early 19th century upper-class Europe. The hardships and emotional rigidness of the time are almost unbearable for today's viewer. Truly, the conflict and heart-ache which Austen experienced is portrayed wonderfully in this film.
Sit back and let yourself be bathed in visual and musical beauty!
