I believe this is Keira Knightley's best film. She gives us a spirited rendering of Lizzie Bennett, the heart and soul of every scene. A charismatic performance that does not dim, no matter how often I watch this film.Joe Wright's direction is equally crucial to making this such a delightful watch.Of my three favourite scenes, two are Ms Knightley's work: the dance with Darcy when sparks fly; and the confrontation with Darcy when she rejects his proposal. Marvelous. The third is Mr Wright's: the passage of time as she rotates on a swing - the changing farmyard through the seasons is so lovingly created.
