Love, passion and revenge combine in this lavish production of CHARLOTTE BRONTE’S JANE EYRE. This brilliant, all-new adaptation commemorates the 150th anniversary of the timeless novel and stars Samantha Morton (A&E’s EMMA) and Ciaran Hinds (Persuasion, A&E’s IVANHOE) as the young governess and her mysterious and tragic employer. After a childhood spent in bleak orphanages, Jane Eyre arrives at Thornfield Hall to take over her duties attending to the child of the house. She soon falls in love with Thornfield’s brooding owner, Mr. Rochester. Gradually, Jane wins his heart, but together they must overcome the dark secrets of his past before they can find happiness. Directed by Robert Young (Fierce Creatures) and filmed entirely on location in England, CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S JANE EYRE is an exquisite adaptation of one of the most beloved stories of all time.
Viewer Reviews
I won't write a diatribe about what I hated with this version, so I'll sum it up in as few points as possible:
-Samantha Morton too cute and young - she looked like she was 12
-Ciaran Hinds: too old and creepy for the part, came across as a raging, shouting bull during the whole movie. Rochester was an angry man but he wasn't THAT angry all the time.
-No chemistry whatsoever between the two characters. Samantha Morton looked mortified to have to kiss Ciaran Hinds in the kissing scenes. Frankly, I'd be mortified too.
Avoid this version as well as the William Hurt/Charlotte Gainsbourg versions- don't let your curiosity to see another version of Jane Eyre get the best of you. They're both awful. See the Timothy Dalton/Zelah Clarke and Toby Stephens/Ruth Wilson versions instead.
