Review of Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre (2011)
8/10
Anxious, haunting world of Bronte
12 April 2011
Jane Eyre illustrates what men don't get about women. The definitive screen adaptation? A most psychologically romantic movie to take a woman to. Stunningly filmed in northern England, dramatically immersed in the desolation of Bronte's settings. Steeped in haunting, subtle imagery punctuated by Bronte's arresting dialog. Her eloquence adeptly slices through both the chasm of years since she penned them, and modern male preconceptions of romance.

The director's diverse heritage lends him a wide range of film and literature to draw on. Perhaps he emphasized surprising similarities to Japanese legends.
