Pride & Prejudice is a 2005 British romance film directed by Joe Wright and based on Jane Austen's 1813 eponymous novel. The film depicts five sisters from an English family of landed gentry as they deal with issues of marriage, morality and misconceptions. Keira Knightley (pictured) stars in the lead role of Elizabeth Bennet, while Matthew Macfadyen plays her romantic interest Mr. Darcy. Produced by Working Title Films in association with StudioCanal, the film was released on 16 September 2005 in the United Kingdom and Ireland and on 11 November in the United States. It was marketed to a younger, mainstream audience; promotional items noted that it came from the producers of 2001 romantic comedy Bridget Jones's Diary before acknowledging its provenance as an Austen novel. Pride & Prejudice earned a worldwide gross of approximately $121 million, which was considered a commercial success. It earned a rating of 82 percent from review aggregator Metacritic, labelling it universally acclaimed. The film earned four nominations at the 78th Academy Awards, including a Best Actress nod for Knightley. Pride & Prejudice has failed to match the cultural impact of the 1995 version, though Knightley has become associated with her character among younger viewers.
