Review of Jane Eyre (1997) by Thomas P — 07 Dec 2015
You cannot have a passionless Jane, and an unlikable Rochester.
Crappy tv version is all cliches, cow eyed looks, boring, and most grievous of all -.
Passionless.
See the Orson Welles version and/or the Michael Fassbender version where ironic to the novel, the men are stronger and more interesting, and yet they are watchable and at least touch the fiery passions of the novel's Gothic brooding setting among the moors.
Don't bother with this one - seek the classic from 1948 or the recent 2011.
Both build atmosphere and mood, and are well played.
