This is a pity, as with a better script Charlotte Gainsbourgh might have been as good a Jane as Zelah Clarke in the '83 version.Д«ut while it is still obvious that Gainsbourgh is trying to play Jane, there is no trace whatsoever of Rochester in the character that William Hurt portrays. As a result of leaving out so many scenes and shortening so much of the dialogues, Gainsbourgh's portrayal of Jane must necessarily remain incomplete and therefore ultimately unsatisfactory. But unfortunately the script never allows her to expand the more passionate and lively side of Jane's character any further. Gainsbourgh manages well to let the audience guess at the inner fire and the strong will which are hidden behind the stoic mask. And during the first 15 minutes of her screen time I was enchanted by her performance. Looking every bit like 18, thin and frail, with irregular, strong features, she comes closest to my inner vision of Jane than any other actress in that role. Charlotte Gainsbourgh as the grown-up heroine, however, is physically a perfect choice for playing Jane Eyre. The ever-reliable Joan Plowright makes a very likable, but far too shrewd Mrs Fairfaix, and one cannot help feeling that Billie Whitelaw is supposed to play the village witch instead of plain-looking, hard-working Grace Poole. The cast is a mixed bag: While Fiona Shaw is an excellent Mrs Reed, Anna Paquin's young Jane is more an ill-mannered, pout Lolita than a lonely little girl, longing for love. What remains is just a glimpse of the novel, which does no justice to Charlotte BrontГ«'s masterpiece.

Zerifferelli does not make the mistake other scriptwriters have made in substituting their own poor writing for BrontГ«'s superb lines, neither are crucial scenes completely changed and rewritten, but he makes the less offensive but in the end similarly great mistake of simply leaving many important scenes out. The scene in which Rochester wants to find out Jane's reaction to his dilemma by putting his case in hypothetical form before her after the wounded Mason has left the house is completely missing, and the farewell scene, the most important scene - the climax - of the novel is reduced to four sentences. We know that they are supposed to fall in love, but we never see it actually happen. There are a number of short conversations between Rochester and Jane, each of them beautifully staged, but the couple of sentences they exchange do not suffice to show the audience that they are drawn to each other. As a consequence the film does not show the depth and complexity of the relationship between Jane and Rochester, and sadly it does also not include the humorous side of their intercourse. In addition, his script merely scratches the surface of the novel by leaving out many important scenes. Director Franco Zerifferelli revels in beautiful long shots of snow falling from a winter sky, of lonely Rochester standing on a rock, and of Jane looking out of the window - but he is less good at telling a story and bringing characters to life. This is without doubt the most exquisite Jane Eyre adaptation as far as cinematography is concerned.

Since then I have watched all the other noteworthy adaptations of the novel, the three short versions of '44, '70 and '97 and the three mini series of '73, ', and I have noticed that there are worse adaptations and worse Rochesters. So much of the novel had been left out and I considered William Hurt to be terribly miscast as Rochester. This 1996 movie was the first adaptation of Jane Eyre that I ever watched and when I did so I was appalled by it. Reviewed by jback-5 3 / 10 A glimpse of the novel
