Samantha morton stars as bronte's jane eyre, in one of the most remade stories ever. Starting as an orphan, it had been a rough life so far. Working as a teacher, things improved, and jane gets hired on as governess to adele (timia berthome). Adele's father, the eligible edward rochester (ciaran hinds), is rough around the edges, but honest and fair. And he sets jane's heart beating. You may recognize morton as one of the pre-cog see-ers in minority report. With a very different hairdo. You can see the familiar look when she stares straight ahead. This is the story of how jane and rochester's lives intertwine over the years. This was just the second role for hermione gulliford. And the only role so far for timia berthome; her bio says she is a singer. Directed by robert young. The other one. It's quite well done. Moves along a little faster than most period pieces. Good casting, good acting performances.
