Jane Eyre; a romantic drama filled with hauntingly beautiful and captivating scenes. This exquisite adaptation is competing strongly for the sentiments and affection I have only ever reserved for "The Piano" which was directed by Jane Champion.
Cathy Fukunaga has directed a visually captivating film, particularly the scenes of Jane walking through the moors which are barren except for the wind, twisted trees and misty haze. Other memorable features of the film: the locations included London, Derbyshire, the Chatsworths and Sheffield; the musical score was composed by Dario Marianelli; and Michael O'Connor designed the costumes.
Other memorable scenes...
Edward Fairfax Rochester said to Jane Eyre as they stood in the middle of the vast landscape tinted with autumnal leaves. "It is as if a thread connects my rib to your rib. And I fear that if you move away that thread will break and I will bleed internally to death."
Jane is seated alone in her cottage at night, when her gaze into the fire is disrupted by a forceful knock at the door. She slowly opens the door to see Rochester before her, frozen by the snow and cold night air but fueled with a deep burning passion to see and touch her.
