Title: Disappointed
Product review: I find this version of Jane Eyre utterly pitiful. Hurt, though a good actor, didn't quite impress as Rochester. In many moments, I didn't feel the passion/tension that define the character. Gainsbourg was ok, but she lacked the passion too, especially in the scene where she speaks all her feelings when she knows she has to leave Thornfield Hall. The couple lacked chemistry, and what is more frustrating are the liberties the producers took while filming. So much of the book has been left out, and worse, changed. The Rivers didn't know who was Jane Eyre when they first met. Futhermore, leaving no adequate description of the life changing encounter with the Rivers is just sinful.It's truly disappointing, especially when you realise it's a Zeffirelli movie.
