DVD of the Week: ‘Jane Eyre’

Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska in Jane Eyre

As I wrote when the movie opened, “Cary Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre is smartly taut, with Moira Buffini’s screenplay restructuring the telling of the plot without losing any of its themes or power. Fukunaga also retains the beauty of Charlotte Bronte’s prose, not by using voice-over but by shooting the movie with literary precision: exquisitely detailed costumes, moody cinematography and scenes as rhythmically paced as any great novel.” And as Rochester, Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds and X-Men: First Class) is intensely sexy.
