Jane Eyre is an incredibly well-made period drama. It is also one of the most hauntingly beautiful films of this year. There is an emphasis of enunciation and mannerisms in the adaptations of Victorian literature, both on television and in film. Director Cary Fukunaga's version of the tumultuous love in the rainy, gloomy northern England, however, emphasizes the story and the mood. I can't think of a better costume drama than this
Jane Eyre which captures the dark and eerie undertones of the source novel perfectly. This also bodes well for Andrea Arnold's the upcoming
Wuthering Heights, which
looks amazing.
