This is the ULTIMATE version of this wonderful, classic story. The onscreen chemistry between Toby Stephens/Ruth Wilson as Rochester & Jane is unbelievable; the emotion hits you in the gut and all this without overt sex scenes. Stephens' Rochester is, for me THE definitive portrayal (and I've seen all of the versions)
This is the best Jane Eyre adaptation EVER!
The chemistry between the two wonderful, believable leads is incredible. The passion, the betrayal, the tension is all there. An absolute masterpiece. The supporting cast are also great but Toby Stephens as the dark, tormented, sexy Rochester is the stand out performance. You must check this out. It was THE production of 2006. AMAZING!
