The Importance of "Propriety" in "pride and Prejudice" >> Please HELP

[Ixchel]

Joe Wright does mention - in his commentary -
that he regreets the candlelight on Judi Dench as being too harsh when she goes to Longbourn.
(She was a brilliant Lady C.)
I agreed with him.
I think you would enjoy the commentary since he actually discusses the directing.

I agree with Sciencefan, the candlelight on Judi Dench's face was to harsh but contrary to Mr. Wright's statement, I believe the candlelit scene adds to the ugliness of Lady Catherine de Bourgh's demeanor. Be it that Mr. Wright was not happy with his decision with the lighting in this specific scene, I think it was a genious move unknownling on his behalf.

I've yet to see the BBC version.

When you have 5 hours, I highly recommend it.
Actually, I usually watch it in 2 or 3 sittings if I can.
