sharplittleteethWe saw Jane Eyre tonight.
I enjoyed it. But I also felt something was missing.
It all seemed a bit too polite, a bit too polite. Surely the whole point of gothic romance is that it sweeps you up in its melodrama?
It's a good looking film, with all those moors and run down English manors and bonnets. And I'm sucker for Mia Wasikowski. But Michael Fassbinder never really got his brooding on. There just wasn't enough chemistry between them.
I do want a frock coat now, though. And possibly some muttonchops.
