A magical movie

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2006)

I don't know enough about movie-making to understand what it is that makes a movie a magical experience. But this is surely one of them.
Every scene, every character, every frame of the movie seems to be perfectly crafted. Is it the direction, is it the camera-work or is it the actors? Certainly, in my view, the pride of place must go to Lizzie Bennett, played by the absolutely gorgeous Keira Knightley. She is more than outstanding and the costumes, sets and locations seem to be just right for her. I don't think anyone else could have achieved what she has done here.
Add to that the landscapes which are lovingly captured by director Joe Wright and cameraman Roman Oshin and you have the perfect movie.
