It’s rough out there lately. How about a little escapism via 19th-century France? Our theater lover in chief, his vice president, and their respective spouses took in a performance of Les Mis at the Kennedy Center last night. Their arrival to a musical about a populist revolution came with a predictably mixed reception, and definite missed points.
In the market for some less on-the-nose 19th-century escapism today? Rebecca Ford reconnects Keira Knightley and Rosamund Pike, two stars of the much beloved 2005 film version of Pride & Prejudice; Materialists, reviewed; and a new conservative political commentator to know. |
Generations of filmgoers have been bewitched, body and soul, by 2005’s Pride & Prejudice, which earned Keira Knightley her first Oscar nomination at just 20 years old. For Knightley and Rosamund Pike, who played Elizabeth’s sister Jane Bennet, making the film remains one of the most memorable experiences of their careers. When they meet in London for Vanity Fair’s Reunited series, they’re happy to jump back into those memories from two decades ago. “I do remember a feeling when we were making it—that it was going to work,” says Knightley.
Together, they look back on their favorite memories from filming Pride & Prejudice—including wild days and nights with the late Donald Sutherland. |
