This BBC miniseries is my absolute favorite of all of the adaptations ofJane Eyre, with Samantha Morton as Jane and Ciarian Hinds as Mr. Rochester. It’s gothic, it’s dark, it’s romantic. The costuming is very well done, with some interesting 1830s gowns on Jane’s family during the childhood sequences, out-of-date late 1830s dresses on the adult Jane (as would befit a poor governess who is probably wearing donated clothes), and some fabulous early 1840s clothing on Blanche Ingram and company.
