Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carey Mulligan filmed this right before her Oscar-nominated breakout in 'An Education'—Isabella is basically her audition for playing complicated women.
This adaptation leans HARD into the novel's parody elements, with fantasy sequences that annoyed purists but perfectly capture Austen's 'women who read too much' satire.
