Jane Eyre (2011)

Far less mellow-dramatic and soapy that previous versions I've seen.  Characters were more realistic and easier to relate too.  This and some great cinematography made for a very enjoyable DVD.

Mia Wasikowska is again great in this classic role.  Michael Fassbender matches her with a magnificently manic performance.  The rest of the cast is period perfect and included Dame Judi Dench as all English dramas should.

What was missing here was all the things that made other versions overly long and occasionally painful to watch.  It is also obvious the director here, Cary Fukunaga, is also a great cinematographer.  This movie is as pretty to watch as it is to listen too.

Watch this movie with less tissues that you used in previous versions.
