60 of 174 · most liked firstI both love and complain about basically every film or TV adaptation of Jane Eyre because all of them get at least one thing that was very important to me wrong, but tonight I’m watching my secret favorite, the MAD HORNY Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens miniseries, and simply having a great time
unlabelledView post →I Walked with a Zombie, the title that so embarrassed Mrs. Val Lewton, but the film—it's Jane Eyre in the Caribbean, and the first Mrs. Rochester is a zombie—is a marvelous fever dream, and it's a lot more interesting on the subject of race than you might expect. Frances Dee as Jane Eyre: lovely.

unlabelledView post →My #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday. A blend of melodrama & heist movie from the mid ‘50s; a most enjoyable JANE EYRE adaptation that leans into the novel’s Gothic sensibilities; an absorbing documentary on female pioneers of electronic music; and a rewatch of a favourite De Palma. ❤️ #FilmSky
unlabelledView post →Watched Jane Eyre for the first time. Then I read some reviews. Every single one of them criticises Orson Welles's performance, and I think that is mad. He is clearly the most enjoyable part of the film, other than the billowing fog and gothic cinematography.
unlabelledView post →found this old syllabus: one of the best classes I took & the first time I saw almost all these movies. the book-movie pairings were inspired (Jane Eyre/Walked with a Zombie; Tempest/Providence; "Secret Sharer"/Persona)
unlabelledView post →I watched Jane Eyre (2011) last night. The movie was fine, definitely made more interested in reading the books. But also made me realize how much Crimson Peak was Guillermo Del Toro's take on Jane Eyre specifically lol.

unlabelledView post →'Jane Eyre' (1943) film based on the novel by Charlotte Brontë: "Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones." www.literaryladiesguide.com/film-adaptat...
unlabelledView post →This is the fakest literary classic prop since the copy of Jane Eyre with which the 1943 film begins. Ah, Charlotte Brontë's immortal words: 'My name is Jane Eyre---. I was born in 1820, a harsh time of change in England'.
unlabelledView post →A girl stopped me today to tell me she loved a tattoo I got nearly 12 years ago. I told her it was a quote from The Great Gatsby—my favourite book, second only to Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë. She smiled and said, “Oh, I loved that movie.” We are doomed. 🤦♀️

unlabelledView post →Another lost film, a British adaptation of Jane Eyre. I am curious about it because, in my opinion, the definitive film version has yet to be made. I wonder how this one measured up.
unlabelledView post →Since folks are talking about Wuthering Heights, this is a good time for a song about how Mr Rochester (from Jane Eyre) was an asshole.

unlabelledView post →I’ve been thinking about this film today. I love Jane Eyre. I wrote my master’s thesis on adaptations of the novel, which was my special interest at the time. I really like this one, except for the ending. Maybe I’m too harsh on it? youtu.be/8IFsdfk3mlk?...

unlabelledView post →If you love Jane Eyre and if you’re a fan of the 2011 film adaptation in particular, may I suggest Firelight (1997)? It plays like a sexy fanfic version of Jane Eyre, one in which Jane is Adele’s mother in addition to being her governess. It’s suffused in this beautifully wintry and gloomy
unlabelledView post →I’m always pleased when a movie excites interest in the classics. Wuthering Heights isn’t my favorite novel by a Bronte . I prefer Jane Eyre. But I will probably reread it for the nth time anyhow. Going to Book Clubs Get Swept Away by ‘Wuthering Heights’ #BookSky www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/s...

unlabelledView post →The lesson of Jane Eyre is to make it a movie starring Ruth Wilson and Toby Stephens and it becomes erotica which is truer to the novel than any other version.

unlabelledView post →There's something so beautiful, melancholic & romantic about "Jane Eyre." Watching it on film is especially beautiful. The music. The soft, muted colours, the tension & the ultimate assessment on humanity. It speaks to me on such a deep level. I suppose it's time I read the novel #Filmsky #Booksky
unlabelledView post →Notable how often Delbert Mann helmed a film about lonely social outsiders. Marty, Separate Tables, Dear Heart, the so-so version of Jane Eyre with the lovely John Williams score. Doris Day hiding from a rare horndog iteration of Cary Grant in That Touch of Mink (Doris, the pill is FDA-approved).
unlabelledView post →period. Part of this is probably mixing it up with the publication dates (Emily and Charlotte were writing in the Victorian era), but a lot of it’s probably also to do with the costuming and fashion for the film versions (Jane Eyre adaptations usually follows Victorian styling instead, for example)
unlabelledView post →I especially enjoyed Andy’s joke about Laura’s memoir of appearing with Andrew on so many Halloween episodes of Backlisted being called “I Walked With A Zombie.” As Andy may have been subtly referencing, that brilliant 1943 Jacques Tourneur/Val Lawton movie is itself a Brontë (Jane Eyre) adaptation!

Reading a book where the story was known a long time ago allows an #Alzheimers sufferer put down & pick up a book. Over the year she read it I don't think she completed it; but enjoyed reading it

unlabelledView post →Argument worth making, but I think I’m on the other side of it. There are stories where race is central and this technique just won’t work. E.g. you couldn’t do it in a film version of Huck Finn or Jane Eyre. But I see nothing wrong with telling stories where race is not a central concern.
unlabelledView post →Allyson wears a crisp, all-white wardrobe for the entire film, and by the end it starts to feel almost sinister. Aggressive purity. I can't tell if that was the intent, but it works—Allyson's character is the film's expat Jane Eyre, Brazzi the keeper of the madwoman. A film about territory.
