From the liner notes

When a wealthy bachelor and his circle of sophisticated friends take up summer residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz with the hope that potential suitors will be in full supply. But once Lizzie meets up with the darkly handsome and snobbish Mister Darcy, what could seem like a match made in heaven quickly becomes one of the most classic battles of the sexes ever portrayed in literature and on screen.

Review

Though many will argue that the 1995 BBC adaptation with Colin Firth is definitive, this exhilarating big-screen version of the Jane Austen classic might actually be the better movie. After an early career of sprightly but unchallenging performances, Keira Knightley absolutely shines as uberheroine Elizabeth Bennett, the fiery independent spirit who will marry no man before her time. But since her dotty mother (Blethyn) obsessed is with social structure and status, it is Liz's turn (as the eldest sister) to be paired off. Enter the quizzically icy upperclassman Mr. Darcy (Macfadyen), and a delightfully convoluted courtship that constantly teeters between destined and star-crossed. Sutherland is grand as Mr. Bennett, the unlikely supporter of Elizabeth's dreams. Screenwriter Deborah Moggach distills the sprawling 61-chapter novel to its most essential elements, and director Joe Wright (in his feature debut, no less) gives the camera the same playful energy as the characters' crisp dialogue.
