Jane Eyre, I'm a big fan of period-peices.


Among the movies opening this weekend, which might actually be decent, is Jane Eyre. I have to admit, I am the least familiar with this story of all the similar genre stories. However, the preview looks quite good. I'm a sucker for any period piece movie. I see basically all of them. So, I'll probably see this one. And yes, I know, I need to follow up and actually go see a movie some time this year.....

Here is a synopsis I got from another website (thanks):
Mia Wasikowska (“Alice in Wonderland”) and Michael Fassbender (“Inglourious Basterds”) star in the romantic drama based on Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, from acclaimed director Cary Fukunaga (“Sin Nombre”). In the story, Jane Eyre flees Thornfield House, where she works as a governess for wealthy Edward Rochester. As she reflects upon the people and emotions that have defined her, it is clear that the isolated and imposing residence – and Mr. Rochester’s coldness – have sorely tested the young woman’s resilience, forged years earlier when she was orphaned. She must now act decisively to secure her own future and come to terms with the past that haunts her – and the terrible secret that Mr. Rochester is hiding and that she has uncovered…

Opens Friday (3/11)

  1. Saw it this weekend and absolutely loved it. I think it's my favorite adaptation of Jane Eyre. The leads are excellent, especially Michael Fassbender. I look forward to hearing what you think of the movie!
