Overall user rating Jane Eyre DVD 2 reviews | Write a review

Charlotte Bronte's classic novel of Gothic romance gets the Zeffirelli treatment in this moving adaptation. Orphaned Jane Eyre (Charlotte Gainsbourg) grows into a strong-willed...
more...heroine after enduring a miserable childhood (where she's played by Anne Paquin). Things start looking better when she falls in love with the brooding Rochester (William Hurt), lord of the manor where she gets a job as governess. Unfortunately, Rochester's family skeletons threaten to sabotage their happy ending. Director Franco Zeffirelli (HAMLET, OTHELLO, ROMEO AND JULIET) stays faithful to the book while stressing natural characters and landscapes over stylized gloom and mystery, with rewarding results.

Review of Jane Eyre DVD by Tess82

Advantages: Beautiful film!
Disadvantages: Nothing

...sisters - in particular, Charlotte. Jane Eyre is probably her most well-known work, and so it's not surprising that there have been several versions of it made on film. But out of all of them, the one that I've been able to watch straight through, enraptured at every moment, has been this version, with Charlotte Gainsborough and William Hurt. I can't officially compare it to the other versions since I haven't seen them in their entirety (though now ... Read review
