Listening To: Pride and Prejudice (2005)

I wrote a gushy love letter to this movie a few years ago, but I wanted to write a little something about the beautiful score by Dario Marianelli.

I'm a sucker for a pretty film score. The kind that you shut your eyes to fully appreciate, the kind that soothes the senses and gives you the feeling of floating among the notes. From the dreamy piano to the upbeat dancing music to the rhythmic drums of the soldiers marching into town, every note is pitch perfect, transporting the listener into a time long past. The film itself gives you time to really appreciate the score, whether it be during an intimate dance, or while Elizabeth Bennet stands wordlessly on a cliff, the wind blowing around her and the music taking center stage. It's a wonderful listen and I recommend it.
