Too Slow.
|
Staged sets and no personality breaks believability, in this earlier, 1981 version. Compared to "Pride & Prejudice"-2006, 1996, & 1940 all at 5-stars; and the Emma Thompson version-1995, at 4-stars.
This film should be used in a film school, to show what happens when: no additional lighting is used outdoors = (shadows on the actors faces), no boom-mike = (distracting noises), ill-plotted camera-angles = (the camera comes into the viewer's mind), and no transitions, indoor to outdoor, or room to room, and staged-sets = (does not take you there).
So, they had a low budget. If you view it as a college play, do not mind "reserved", and "slow", and are a big Jane Austen fan, you may enjoy it. I recommend instead, "Middlemarch", skipping the first episode; and "Maytime", watch first 5-minutes, skip 10-minutes, then the movie takes off.
