Directed by Joe WrightFocus Features4 1/2 starsIt seems impossible that Jane Austen’s most beloved novel, “Pride and Prejudice,” could be adapted successfully after Laurence Olivier’s 1940 film version, a fantastic 1995 BBC TV mini-series starring (swoon) Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, and the recent Bollywood comedy “Bride & Prejudice” had mined so much from the material.
