UK, 2hr 9min

Director: Joe Wright (Atonement)

Cast: Keira Knightley, Matthew Macfadyen, Judi Dench

We loved giving our sta the opportunity to show their favourite films with last years Mystery Films, but we don’t think we need the mystery anymore! Each month one sta member will have their chosen film featured in our programme. Here’s what Sophie had to say about her pick:

“For my sta pick, I knew it was going to have to be a romance film. Pride and Prejudice stands out to me because of its beautiful storytelling alongside equally as beautiful cinematography and visuals. What solidified this choice for me was finding out just how many of my friends and family had never seen it, and what better way to share it with them for the first time than on the big screen!” - Sophie, Deputy Customer Sales Manager

Sparks fly when spirited Elizabeth Bennet meets single, rich, and proud Mr. Darcy. But Mr. Darcy reluctantly finds himself falling in love with a woman beneath his class.
