As Close To The Perfect Movie As You Can Get

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2017)

This rendition is Pride and Prejudice is as close to a perfect movie as any I have seen. It has everything. Outstanding story and screenplay, brilliant direction and cinematic technique, matchless acting and casting, stunning settings and costumes, plus a music score as good as any I've come across. There are at least a half dozen scenes that should be taught at every film school as they are nothing short of magic. Keira Knightly, Rosamund Pike, Matthew Macfadyen, Donald Sutherland, Tom Hollander, Judy Dench and many others are all perfectly cast. It's the subtlety, texture and elegance that makes this movie so fantastic. I have watched it at least a half dozen times and it just gets better with each viewing. This is a true work of art and a classic that will be enjoyed for many many years to come.
