Movie Reviews of Jane Eyre (BBC, 1983)

Movie Review: best rochester ever!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

There could never be a better Rochester than Timothy Dalton. He was perfect for the part.....he brought to life a brooding, dark, and mysterious persona to what is a really difficult character to portray.... this movie deserves top rating and 10 more stars out of all the Jane Eyre remakes. Top acting on his part. (And also the rest of the cast). Hats off to Timothy Dalton! Also, this is the very best Jane Eyre movie ever made.

Summary of Jane Eyre (BBC, 1983)

Jane Eyre (Zelah Clarke) is a mistreated orphan who learns to survive by relying on her independence and intelligence. Her first job in the outside world is governess to the ward of Mr. Rochester (Timothy Dalton) a man of many secrets and mercurial moods. The tentative trust between them slowly develops into romance but their hopes for happiness will soon be jeopardized by a terrible secret .Running Time: 330 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 794051218926
Jane Eyre--the mother of all gothic romances--gets abundant passion in this 11-episode BBC miniseries. Young Sian Pattenden is wonderfully willful and impetuous; viewers will immediately identify with the child Jane as she fights against ill-treatment at the home of her aunt and at boarding school. It's a shame to see her grow up into Zelah Clarke--until Clarke asserts her own quiet yet fierce spirit. The plot really starts rolling when Jane takes a position as governess at Thornfield, a handsome estate owned by the imperious and tortured Mr. Rochester (Timothy Dalton, a few years before he became James Bond). From there, this 1983 adaptation rips through the perilous highs and devastating lows of Charlotte Bronte's powerful novel, in which the courtship of these two prickly personalities gets twists and turns galore. Though the visual style is a bit pedestrian, the well-crafted script and skillful performances grow more gripping with every episode. The necessary feverishness springs from simple yet effective means, like macabre laughter floating down the halls of Thornfield. The scenes between Clarke and Dalton crackle with chemistry; Bronte fans will not be disappointed. --Bret Fetzer
