Both Ciarn Hinds and Samantha Morton are stunning and intense in this adaptation of Jane Eyre.  Although it is only a TV movie (not a mini-series as such novels deserve) it is one of the better versions, though I have yet to find one that I distinctly do not like (the older ones, excepting the one I originally saw by Orson Welles are all somewhat DATED in their acting, sets, cinematography and choice of emphasis).  The narration of the story by Samantha Morton, as Jane, gives greater insight into the repressed but passionate nature of the literary character.
