Movie Reviews of Wide Sargasso Sea
Movie Review: STRANGE
Summary: 2 Stars
This prequel is going to disappoint most Jane Eyre devotees. It is much more like a badly written romantic novel than a classic. If you must see it, check it out from your local library. I'm glad I did that rather than buy it as I found it to have more sex than substance and thought it overall....VERY STRANGE and not very entertaining.
Summary of Wide Sargasso Sea
"Beautifully acted" -- The Independent (U.K.)As imagined by Jean Rhys, the villainous madwoman in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre becomes an innocent, born into two cultures but belonging to none.
The exotic Caribbean confounds young Englishman Edward Rochester when he arrives in 1830s Jamaica to pursue his fortune. Nevertheless, he finds nothing to fear in beautiful Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway. She eagerly succumbs to his courtship, entrusting him with her dowry and her destiny. In the intoxicating surroundings of their honeymoon house, ecstatic lust turns to suspicion and betrayal as her world and his disastrously collide.
In this passionate and heartbreaking love story, the shadowy character created by one brilliant novelist becomes fully realized in the hands of another. Rafe Spall (The Chatterley Affair) and Rebecca Hall (The Prestige) star in a fresh adaptation that captures all the sensuality, suspense, and nuance of Rhys's masterpiece.
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE biography of Jean Rhys, SDH subtitles, and cast filmographies.
