Carey Mulligan Reflects on Her Very First Film Role in ‘Pride & Prejudice’: ‘It Was the Dream Job’

As the Joe Wright-directed Jane Austen adaptation preps for a 20th anniversary re-release, Carey Mulligan tells IndieWire what she remembers best.

Twenty years after its theatrical release, Joe Wright’s luminous Jane Austen adaptation “Pride & Prejudice” continues to delight fans — we’re talking hand flex freaks, “a million times yes” devotees, and anyone who loves a romantic reunion in a dawn-lit field — and is preparing for a very well-received theatrical re-release next month. Malone, of course, played youngest Bennet sister Lydia (a character somehow even more ditzy than Kitty, and one whose romantic hijinks almost pull the entire clan into ruin). And even Mulligan can’t deny the impact of the film’s iconic reunion scene, in which Knightley’s Lizzy Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Darcy finally profess their love to each other in a miraculously lit British field.
