5 Days Until Jane Eyre 2011

The Denver Post reminds us of the screening of Jane Eyre 2011 at the Women+Film Voices Film Festival:

Voices closes with director Cary Fukunaga's "Jane Eyre," starring Mia Wasikowska as Charlotte Brontë's profoundly ethical protagonist. (Lisa Kennedy)

The rendez-vous is next March 13:

Sunday March 13 at 7 PM with pre-reception at 6 PM.
With an introduction by Dana Crawford.

Los Angeles Times waits eagerly for the opening night:

Charlotte Brontë's tale of romance and a man with a secret, "Jane Eyre," opens Friday. The film stars Mia Wasikowska ("Alice in Wonderland," "The Kids Are All Right") as Jane and handsome Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester. The much-loved novel is dark and moving, with twists and surprises. Read it, then see how the lusciously spooky costume drama plays them out on-screen. (Carolyn Kellogg)

The North Jersey Record also announces the film:

Who's who: Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Jamie Bell, Judi Dench, Sally Hawkins.
What's what: Wasikowska is a governess who softens the heart of her surly employer, only to discover he is hiding a terrible secret.

The reviewer of SonicEclectic is truly a member of the MTV/multitasking generation. He confuses pace and rythm with quickness:

Audiences in Ms. Brontë’s time had fewer demands on their times and/or attention spans. While that was good for the scriveners of that period, the wordiness and length of their work create problems for their early twenty-first century audiences.
First everything and everyone seems possessed of only one speed, dead slow. Secondly, sexuality while certainly a constant undercurrent just as it is today, was then something to be battled and subjugated not celebrated. (Andrew Harrell)

Finally, TheRoselleC has uploaded to YouTube two brief interviews with Mia Wasikowska and Cary Fukunaga.
