It’s been 20 years since Kiera Knightly, Matthew Macfadyen, Rosamund Pike, Jena Malone, Carey Mulligan, Donald Sutherland, and the rest of the cast of Joe Wright’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice graced the silver screen, and now they’re back. Celebrate the anniversary with three showings of this spritely, warm, and charming version of the classic story of ego and love. Bring all of your friends out for dinner at one of the South End’s charming restaurants and then come watch a beloved classic with them and a glass of wine.
“One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else.” -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Wright’s filmmaking is elegant, vibrant and prudently ostentatious.” -Adam Kempenaar, Filmspotting
“A stellar adaptation, bewitching the viewer completely and incandescently with an exquisite blend of emotion and wit.” -Claudia Puig, USA Today
“Breathes new life into characters and conversations never before quite wholly free from the printed page.” -Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films
“This fresh adaptation shakes the dust off Jane Austen’s early 19th-century novel of manners and gives it a good airing out.” -Steve Davis, Austin Chronicle
“Director Wright and screenwriter Moggach have streamlined the author’s prose splendidly, and combined with spirited and emotional performances by the entire cast this first Pride & Prejudice of the new millenium is a three-hankie masterpiece.” -Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak.com
“Dare I say that even Jane Austen herself would have delighted in the final triumph of Ms. Knightley’s quick-witted Elizabeth in this film? Yes, I do, and all the highbrow and middlebrow cinephobes of the world be damned.” -Andrew Sarris, Observer
“A joy to behold.” -David Edelstein, Slate
“As with so much of this Pride & Prejudice, you wish it would never end.” -Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News
“For the uninitiated, I can’t imagine a better introduction to this classic.” Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
“At a time when we seem to be inundated by one gruesome, depressing movie after another, it’s reassuring to see an elegant man’s pride and a stubborn woman’s prejudice reach the lushly realized assertion that love conquers all.” -Rex Reed, Observer
The 2005 Pride & Prejudice returns to The Clyde Tuesday, June 3, and plays Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday at 7:30.
