Jane Eyre
Jane and Charlotte Forever
January 29 - February 7, 2016
Charlotte Gainsbourg delivers a soulful, sensitive performance as the strong-willed heroine of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel in Franco Zeffirelli’s beautifully understated, broodingly romantic screen adaptation.
Period-film maestro Franco Zeffirelli captures the brooding, gothic atmosphere of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel in this moody screen adaptation. As the titular heroine—who goes from spirited orphan to governess to lover of the dashingly romantic Rochester (William Hurt)—Charlotte Gainsbourg is soulful and sensitive, conveying both Jane’s sadness and defiant inner fire. Her performance sets the tone for a beautifully restrained, understated take on a beloved romance. The impressive supporting cast includes Fiona Shaw as Mrs. Reed, Joan Plowright as Mrs. Fairfax, and Anna Paquin as the young Jane.
