Pride & Prejudice, 2005, Joe Wright.

For a year this DVD was sitting idly on the shelf as I had not come around to watch it. For someone who has fast forwarded through the book and has not been able to sit through the '95 mini series, this didn't seem so tempting.

But I have to say that brevity and taste in adaptation of the book for the sake of a movie has played a strong role in making it even more appealing to the impatient audience of the 21st century. Furthermore, acting and selection of the characters has outdone anything that I could have had in mind. Beautiful cinematography suited for a hate/love story, marvelous sets and costumes, also great editing has made it even more rewarding. It also boasts a great score and I can't help but say that this movie did bewitch me body and soul... to the degree of watching it three times already in the past few days. I never thought that one day I'd be obsessed with Pride & Prejudice. Amazing!
