If a Gothic-style drama about repressed sexual feelings, dark secrets and the end of innocence sound intriguing, why haven’t you read this classic before?Okay, so many people know the Charlotte Bronte novel or one of the many feature films about Plain Jane and her dance with the (good-looking) devil, Rochester, so why another remake? Well, to put it simply, director Cary Joji Fukunaga thought he could give the old story an injection of new life. And boy does he… The film sizzles with eeriness and sexual tension without taking away from the period of morality and restraint. You’ll forget that the story you’re immersed in is over 150 years old. A brilliant recreation.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
