JANE EYRE (2011)
CARY FUKUNAGA
Plot
Jayne Marshall says: "An adaptation of the novel by renowned Yorkshire virgin and second most famous of the three Bronte sisters, Charlotte. Actress Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Time Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland'), is great as the stoic heroine of the title. A love story of sorts, the plot follows the ups and downs of Jane's and the Byronic Mr Rochester's troublesome relationship, somewhat scuppered by 'the mad woman in the attic'. Cinematographically, wild nature, and the Yorkshire moors in particular, are given their rightful starring role as befits a film of a Gothic novel. All in all, a sympathetic adaptation of a classic novel."
