Movie Summary:
Keira Knightley shines in the role of Elizabeth Bennet in this generally faithful adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel. Set in late 18th-century England, the story is about Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn) and their five daughters. The film concentrates on the second daughter, Elizabeth, particularly her relationships with suitors. It is with some difficulty that she finally comes to terms with her feelings about one suitor, Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfayden).
