60 of 214 · most liked firstI both love and complain about basically every film or TV adaptation of Jane Eyre because all of them get at least one thing that was very important to me wrong, but tonight I’m watching my secret favorite, the MAD HORNY Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens miniseries, and simply having a great time
positive · AI labelView post →I Walked with a Zombie, the title that so embarrassed Mrs. Val Lewton, but the film—it's Jane Eyre in the Caribbean, and the first Mrs. Rochester is a zombie—is a marvelous fever dream, and it's a lot more interesting on the subject of race than you might expect. Frances Dee as Jane Eyre: lovely.

neutral · AI labelView post →My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. A blend of melodrama & heist movie from the mid ‘50s; a most enjoyable JANE EYRE adaptation that leans into the novel’s Gothic sensibilities; an absorbing documentary on female pioneers of electronic music; and a rewatch of a favourite De Palma. ❤️ #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Jane Eyre for the first time. Then I read some reviews. Every single one of them criticises Orson Welles's performance, and I think that is mad. He is clearly the most enjoyable part of the film, other than the billowing fog and gothic cinematography.
positive · AI labelView post →found this old syllabus: one of the best classes I took & the first time I saw almost all these movies. the book-movie pairings were inspired (Jane Eyre/Walked with a Zombie; Tempest/Providence; "Secret Sharer"/Persona)

It plays like a sexy fanfic version of Jane Eyre, one in which Jane is Adele’s mother in addition to being her governess. It’s suffused in this beautifully wintry and gloomy

neutral · AI labelView post →The lesson of Jane Eyre is to make it a movie starring Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens and it becomes erotica which is truer to the novel than any other version.

positive · AI labelView post →There's something so beautiful, melancholic & romantic about "Jane Eyre." Watching it on film is especially beautiful. The music. The soft, muted colours, the tension & the ultimate assessment on humanity. It speaks to me on such a deep level. I suppose it's time I read the novel #Filmsky #Booksky
positive · AI labelView post →Notable how often Delbert Mann helmed a film about lonely social outsiders. Marty, Separate Tables, Dear Heart, the so-so version of Jane Eyre with the lovely John Williams score. Doris Day hiding from a rare horndog iteration of Cary Grant in That Touch of Mink (Doris, the pill is FDA-approved).
neutral · AI labelView post →period. Part of this is probably mixing it up with the publication dates (Emily and Charlotte were writing in the Victorian era), but a lot of it’s probably also to do with the costuming and fashion for the film versions (Jane Eyre adaptations usually follows Victorian styling instead, for example)
neutral · AI labelView post →I especially enjoyed Andy’s joke about Laura’s memoir of appearing with Andrew on so many Halloween episodes of Backlisted being called “I Walked With A Zombie.” As Andy may have been subtly referencing, that brilliant 1943 Jacques Tourneur/Val Lawton movie is itself a Brontë (Jane Eyre) adaptation!

Reading a book where the story was known a long time ago allows an #Alzheimers sufferer put down & pick up a book. Over the year she read it I don't think she completed it; but enjoyed reading it

E.g. you couldn’t do it in a film version of Huck Finn or Jane Eyre. But I see nothing wrong with telling stories where race is not a central concern.
neutral · AI labelView post →Allyson wears a crisp, all-white wardrobe for the entire film, and by the end it starts to feel almost sinister. Aggressive purity. I can't tell if that was the intent, but it works—Allyson's character is the film's expat Jane Eyre, Brazzi the keeper of the madwoman. A film about territory.
