Take Me to Pemberley

Synopsis

"Mr. Darcy: The synonym for the romantic hero since 1813, as he first appeared in Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. The book had several movie adaptations (especially prominent [were those from] 1940, 1995 and 2005), which not only inscribe Darcy’s character in popular culture, but also illustrate our capitalist notions of love and desire, as well as a wish for escapism into a pre-industrialized, pre-virtualized world. I, too, fell for Mr. Darcy. Thanks to my webcam and Photo Booth, I can finally have my go [at] winning him over." (Daniela Zahlner)
