Jane Eyre
Aroview: Zeffirelli's version of Charlotte Bronte's gothic romance, filmed in appropriately murky hues, preserves the sombre integrity of the novel. Charlotte Gainsbourg and Anna Paquin share the role of Ms. Eyre.

4 stars (Very Good) This is my favourite adaptation. Jane is plain. Lowood is heartbreaking and Jane's triumph of spirit is really demonstrated in Zefferelli's film. John Hurt is mercurial and mysterious as he should be. Best wedding gown too! ~didi
5 stars (Exceptional) 1995 stellar cast weathers well. Paquin, Gainsbourg, Plowright & Hurt, briefly aided by Maria Schneider, do the heavy lifting. Over-decorated 19thC interiors, as in plush versions of Jane Austen novels, are avoided, helped by an economic storyline. ~Sandy
