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

Right off, I have to admit that this version is very faithful to the orinal novel. I cannot find any fault with it in that way. If you want something that feels like the novel done word-for-word, this is the one. In that aspect, I really enjoyed it. There were, however, some stylistic flaws that got in my way.
First thing is the cinematography. It was terrible. I understand that this was made for TV in 1983, but that understanding only makes it seem a little bit better. It is kind of ... Read More

It was like reading a good book, well in this case, it was like reading Jane Eyre by Bronte. With a good book, I couldn't put it down.. with a good tv adaptation, I couldn't stop the dvd.
Timothy Dalton may not be the Rochester I was imagining from the book, but he surprised me. He fit the character. Dalton is my favorite Rochester. As for Zelah, she was fantastic as Jane. No one could have picked a better Jane.
I gave this 5 stars for the overall content of the DVD, the ... Read More

I think this production of Jane Eyre is the best ever. I have seen them all. If you enjoy the beauty of the prose of Charlotte Bronte, you will truly appreciate the dialog. It is almost verbatim from the book. After watching this, you will not be able to watch any other version. Enjoy!

This is the most faithful adaption of Bronte's Jane Eyre I've seen. The script lifted right out of the book and all of the characterization is dead on. The producers aptly cast Timothy Dalton and Zelda Clark, and I am completley puzzled by the "Zelda hate" that so crudely peppers the negative reviews. She was certainly not unattractive (calling her ugly is so tacky), nor was she a bad actress, in my opinion she is the best in the roll to date.
The only critiscism I grant the naysayers is in the ... Read More
