certainly more dirt and ugliness . lucky luciano fits perfectly in italian genre cinema , namely the political thriller genre . while rosi pretends this is a biopic about one of the most notorious mafia figures of the 20th century , the screentime of the titular figure is limited . rosi is also interested in the political and police climate that surrounded the mafia . lucky luciano reminds us more than once that he was eye to eye with…

making of the mob , is an eight - part docudrama that begins in 1905 and spans more than 50 years , tracing the original five families that led to the modern american mafia , including the rise of charles lucky luciano , meyer lansky and benjamin bugsy siegel .
for the first 25 years of his criminal career , charles “lucky” luciano was a vicious mobster who rose to become the multi - millionaire king of the new york underworld . for the next 25 years of his life , luciano was a legend – but a fake master criminal without real power , his evil reputation manipulated and maintained by government agents who put him behind bars .

( coppola , 1974 ) but purposely avoids the unabashed romanticism of those two ( canonical ) works . there is an overriding sobriety to rosi’s film , with cinematographer
sound overlap , creating the somewhat surreal impression of convulsing bodies dancing to the music at luciano’s dinner as they continue to be riddled with bullets .
pasquale iannone teaches film studies at the university of edinburgh . he is also a critic and broadcaster , regularly contributing to sight & sound and various bbc radio programmes .
american guest stars like steiger , vincent gardenia and edmund o ' brien turn up , sometimes speaking italian when you wouldn ' t necessarily expect it , which is the film ' s sole departure from documentary realism . the sprawling scope and impressive scale show how a realistic film can also be big and cinematic and full - blooded , and how operatic passion can accompany clear - eyed analysis . the film might seem almost as cold - blooded as its psychopathic protagonist , but it gets warmth from the director ' s quiet rage .

– though even more daringly stylised – it’s a reconstruction of the events of 11 september 1931 ( later dubbed “night of the sicilian vespers” ) when 40 leading mafiosi were murdered , clearing the way for luciano to become “boss of bosses” .
like he did with
salvatore guiliano
almost ten years previously , rosi takes on another powerful criminal figure , using only his name and legend as a jumping off point for something more devious and conspiratorial . but unlike the character of guiliano , longtime rosi collaborator gian maria volonte does get a majority of the screen time as the titular luciano . . . albeit in very drab moments of political corruption . if one is looking for the pulp aesthetics that were generating waves out of hollywood in the likes of

hanway’s fabien westerhoff told screendaily : “following the international phenomenon of the story of film : an odyssey , we are delighted to team up with mark cousins again , who turns his unique , critical eye to youth and childhood in cinema . this is a celebration of all the great kids characters that will entertain audiences , young and old , worldwide . ”
this “quiet man with the sad eyes” as the head of the narcotics bureau used to call him , apparently lived the life of a pensioner : he was quiet , had his routine , went to the races , the theatre , to restaurants , his dog in his arms . what was in the head of a man like this ? what is in the brain of a master criminal ? this is what i asked myself as i studied the character of luciano . ( 3 )
essentially the godfather , but steeped in sordid politics instead of mafia tribalism , as it explores the rise and fall of luciano’s notorious crime empire . opens with some incredible slow - mo execution sequences which gave me the impression i was in for 100 minutes of sweet mafia carnage , but unfortunately never again rises to that level of violence ( almost forgoing violence altogether ) . instead we’re given countless meetings between gangsters and high - ranking government figures discussing economic and political intrigue that all went way over my head . still , the cinematography is fantastic in that illustrious godfather - style and rod steiger even shows up for a bit as a seedy drug dealer , so there’s that .

gian maria volonte is very impressive indeed in this , suggesting the creep of old age with little more than some grey hair and a stooping posture , and being utterly convincing at every stage . he seems without vanity and with no need to be loved by the audience , so he embraces the vileness of the character ( as in the masterful investigation of a citizen above suspicion ) and plays it to the hilt . the script offers no special pleading , except one scene where rosi arguably puts a speech into the character ' s mouth that doesn ' t belong there , in order to make a point about gangsters providing a welcome distraction for the populace from the even darker doings of their governments .

once again , eyreaholics are divided over which miniseries is better , although it is really a matter of personal preference . the 1973 miniseries includes voice - over narration from jane , which garnered mixed reactions from the viewers . poster “dr _ mendoncacorreia” defends the use of brontë’s original prose in the voice - overs , stating :
most likely if you love costume drama then you’ve seen some adaptation of charlotte bronte’s classic jane eyre about the tortured rochester and the impassioned jane .
at least some of the later jane eyre adaptations have flirted with jane’s subjectivity , like the 1997 miniseries with samantha morton , in which a frightened jane contemplates herself in the mirror , and the 2006 miniseries with ruth wilson , which experiments with camera angles to indicate jane’s subjugation and emphasizes jane as an artist—someone who looks in her own right . but directors and screenwriters have consistently opted to strip the plot of not only culturally shocking material ( e . g . , jane’s possible marriage to st . john rivers ) but also of its most sensationalist , gothic , melodramatic excess . part of the problem derives from the shift from jane’s subjectivity to the more neutral point of view of the camera ; even the stevenson adaptation rarely shoots scenes from jane’s perspective , so that thornfield hall looks frightening and massive because it actually is .

reader , i married him . toby stephens ( the son of dame maggie smith ) plays the brusque , flawed mr rochester with exactly the right admixture of arrogance and warmth , while newcomer ruth wilson is luminous as english rose jane eyre - like a swan swimming , her impassive face nevertheless conveys a wealth of feeling churning beneath .
my older sister and i have just finished watching bbc one’s jane eyre . the novel by charlotte brontë has always been one of my favorites , and rochester and jane’s story has always reduced me to tears whenever i go back to the book . i was excited when i found out bbc had done a miniseries for it — i adored bbc’s six - part pride and prejudice , and to date , i have only been able to watch one other adaptation of jane eyre — 1996’s jane eyre starring william hurt and charlotte gainsbourg ( which was alright , but rather lacking ) .

last sunday kenneth griffith , mr mason in the 1970 production of jane eyre with susannah york and george c . scott ,
has a competition to win a copy . the question is as easy as in which year was jane eyre originally published .
charlotte bronte’s romantic novel , jane eyre , has been brought to life in this lavish , complex and sexy bbc production .
there’s a scene in the miniseries where jane apologizes for not asking permission to read the books in the library , and he says she’s a thinking woman and can of course read them . that’s not in the book .
currently , there have been over twenty film and tv adaptations , with another film announced for 2011 featuring mia wasikowska of tim burton ' s alice in wonderland . ( you can also read my review of jane eyre 2011 : cary fukunaga ' s gritty , gothic adaptation ) . what is remarkable is how the jane eyre movies and miniseries have allowed fans of the novel to share their feelings , opinions , and questions about jane eyre . people who are introduced to the story by an adaptation meet in online message boards with longtime fans of the novel . when i browse through the message boards for jane eyre on the internet movie database ( imdb ) , i find that the fans ( or “eyreaholics” ) belong to different “camps , ” so to speak . [ 1 ] there are those who will defend one adaptation’s merits over another’s , arguing fiercely in favor of the 1983 miniseries over the 1973 version ( or vice versa ) . purists gripe about jane and edward’s “racy” farewell scene in the latest 2006 adaptation , while others appreciate the modern touches .
the “jane eyre” of today takes few liberties with characters , plot or language . usually classics are revered in the classroom and mauled by hollywood : “jane eyre” is treated with kid gloves in movies and is under constant critical review by scholars and writers .
i find the 2006 version much better . ruth wilson is a brilliant actress , and toby stephens is truly charming ( though perhaps a bit too goofy for rochester ) .
thanks , jaclyn ! glad i ' m not the only je - obsessed person too ! i even like the same versions you do - - the 2006 and 1983 .

based on the story of “jane eyre” author charlotte brontë , the one - act play has only been produced four times in the united states .
because , you know , jane eyre is world - famous for sliding down poles constantly in all manners of puritanical , un - sexy ways .
in an earlier time , jane eyre might have been called a
woman ' s picture .
but all who wish to immerse themselves in grand storytelling should settle in and let jane beguile them .
i adore jane eyre , this was in fact the first “classic” that i can remember reading on my own ( not for class ) . it’s still one of my absolute favorites . i’ve only seen the 2006 and 2011 versions , some of my friends and i have done our own miniseries marathons at various points , part of how i stumbled into the wonder that is elizabeth gaskell . i personally prefer the 2006 version more than 2011 , i think it develops the story line better plus stephens and wilson are just so adorable together . admittedly , i am still waiting to see a version that does the gypsy scene well - that is one of my favorite scenes from the book and would love to see a good film adaptation of it .
jane eyre sequels , prequels , spin - offs , and retellings since its publication in 1847 , charlotte bronte ' s jane eyre has inspired numerous adaptations - - on the stage , on film , and most recently , in novel retellings and sequels . the characters of the original . . .

most popular hero in literature ,
ahead of the likes of heathcliff , rhett butler , and colin firth . eyre , the 1847 novel by english writer charlotte brontë , has frequently been adapted for film , radio , television and theatre , and has inspired a number of rewritings and reinterpretations .
in 1973 and 1983 , the bbc released two jane eyre miniseries . the first , directed by joan craft and starring sorcha cusack and michael jayston , is made up of five episodes , 275 minutes total . the second , directed by julian amyes and featuring zelah clarke and timothy dalton , has eleven thirty - minute episodes . an obvious benefit of a miniseries is the extended time available to tell the story . the director can develop the story at a more leisurely pace and choose to leave in small details that would be excised in a theatrical version .
i ' ve seen at least 7 versions of the novel . i like at least four of them and love three versions . the ones i love are the versions from 1983 , 2006 and 2011 .
in addition to examining how the jane eyre adaptations have presented the story , i will look at the responses of “eyreaholics” and determine how they represent the modern readership . note that since 1910 , there has been at least one jane eyre adaptation per decade . since there are so many , i will focus on the most significant ones , including the five that i have seen , the 1970 , 1973 , 1983 , 1996 , and 2006 versions . yes , i am something of an eyreaholic myself .

there’s something you should know about me . give me a miniseries adaption of a literary classic with beautiful costumes to watch and i will be a happy woman . i’ve been a bit of a miniseries junkie for as long as i can remember . i first got hooked on anne of green gables and then the colin firth and jennifer ehle pride and prejudice . i love seeing my favorite books as films . that is , unless they completely ruin them ( yes , andrew davies , i’m referring to your screenplay for the recent adaption of brideshead that sends me into fits of fury . ) anyhow , i love me a good miniseries . i would wager there’s nary a worthwhile miniseries i haven’t seen . so , i am now passing on my expertise ( derived from excessive period film watching / laziness ) to you , dear reader .
the best version of jane eyre i have seen was the 1983 miniseries with zelah clark and timothy dalton in the leads . dalton is wonderfully dark and brooding and clark is defiantly wonderful . it also features judy cornwall as mrs reed . the interiors are typical , but the out door shots are wonderful . very little is cut from the novel . highly recommended !
no matter the persuasion - - no respectable victorian lady would have - - let alone the particulars of the scene ( which , by the way , nothing happened , but it almost could have been something had jane been slightly weaker ) . their chemistry in this version of jane eyre was probably the most modern i ' ve seen in an adaptation of jane eyre .

charlotte bronte ' s jane eyre is a pre - owned dvd in good condition . the disc has a few light scratches that do not affect play .
in the miniseries , adele was left to rochester as a baby , not brought up by her mother , yet she still sang and danced as if she had lived with her mother . that didn’t make sense .
one of the most talked - about scenes was when rochester tries to convince jane to stay with him after their aborted wedding . they sit on a bed together ; just after rochester insists that they can live together chastely like brother and sister , they lie back on the bed and begin kissing . some viewers were shocked by the steamy scene and how it strayed dramatically from the novel . however , others argued that passion is a major underlying theme in jane eyre and that showing jane and rochester expressing their desires was natural ( “jane eyre 2006” ) . personally , i side with the purists and argue that brontë’s intent was to have jane not give in to her desires . i will concede though that the scene makes jane’s painful separation from rochester very poignant and believable .
haley : the wilson / stephens miniseries stays closer to the novel because it has the time to follow the plot . there is one dreadful “special effects” scene when the tree is struck by lightning that is just embarrassing .

thanks again , lady f , for reading and sharing your thoughts . i like the imdb boards because the eyreaholics can get into really involved discussions about each of the adaptations , comparing scenes and actors , etc . i enjoyed both mia w . and michael f . in the latest film . love the 2006 miniseries . i appreciate the 1983 one for being so close to the original text ( agree with you about the awkward height difference ) . i ' ve only seen the 1973 miniseries once , so i can ' t recall specifically how i felt about the two leads . but thanks again for stopping by ; it ' s nice to get comments from readers .
so every now and then , i ' ll go a little crazy and spend hours re - watching several versions of jane eyre , mainly the 2006 , 1983 , and 1996 versions . this has been one of those times . i ' m so glad i came upon your hub ! it ' s good to know i ' m not the only one with a little bit of a jane eyre obsession : ) . i absolutely adore the 2006 bbc version , mainly because it was the first one i saw after reading the book . second place would have to go to the 1983 version . i think it ' s very well done . i can ' t wait to get my hands on some of the older versions . anyway , i enjoyed reading your reviews !

i love the 1983 adaption of jane eyre above all other versions…i agree completely . it is one of my very favorite movies and shall remain so . . : )

most recently , there’s the 2011 film with mia wasikowska and michael fassbender which brought a gothic horror style to the story ; before that the unforgettable 2006 version with toby stephens and ruth wilson . then there are the two ’90s adaptations , one of which showcased anna paquin as a young jane .
this would explain why the other versions of jane eyre had jane wearing black , but i wonder why this one had jane wearing grey instead of black if the jane in the book found that her grey dress was too fancy to be worn on any occasion . could it be a emphasis on her passionate nature ? maybe . but it was different from the original novel .
i love every jane eyre hub you write ! i think the first jane eyre version i saw was the 1944 version and i love it to this day . fontaine and welles gave the characters interesting dimensions that i haven ' t seen in most other versions . then the 1983 miniseries is by far the most faithful . i do like timothy dalton but i guess my interpretation of rochester was never melodramatic . in the scene after jane faints and she wants to leave thornfield , i felt that dalton made rochester into a whimpering baby . it is still a good adaption though . then 1996 is alright and i ' ve loved the 2006 version every time i watch it . thank you also for mentioning the musical . i was amazed how brilliantly the lyricist used phrases from the novel as well as their thesaurus to make each character ' s song suit them . great job !
brimming with sly jokes and literary allusions , the eyre affair offers a new twist on brontë’s and other classic authors’ works . it was my first exposure to jane eyre , and it made me interested in reading the novel , not knowing exactly what the “true” ending was .
this might just be the most perfect jane eyre wedding gown ( other than being the wrong period ) : it’s pretty , yet plain , well suited to her character .
después de ver el otro día una edición en japonés de jane eyre , hoy toca acercanos un poco más hacia españa para ver esta llamativa y característica edició . . .
when one poster on imdb wondered how paquin’s passionate jane grew into gainsbourg’s “bland and wooden” adult version , “jrice - 11” argued passionately in gainsbourg’s defense : jane’s “strength of purpose was her desire to live , her beauty was wanting to live correctly as well as stay alive . jane [ eyre ] wanted little out of life but to do her duty as she saw it , and ms g . [ gainsbourg ] portrays that well , yet allows us to see that jane has a warmth , a passion beneath that exterior” ( “jane eyre 1996” ) .
agreed . the 2011 was a close , but no cigar , version ( not terrible , just not quite as good as it could have been ) , while the 2006 hewed closer to the novel with the acting and the costumes .

popular novels have also taken jane eyre to new levels . in 1966 , jean rhys published wide sargasso sea , a prequel of sorts to jane eyre . the novel features bertha mason as the protagonist and her meeting and marrying rochester . it has also been adapted to film . poster “yaweh yireh” jokingly refers to the age difference between rochester and jane when she describes her reaction to watching wide sargasso sea : “he kept telling bertha how much he loved her , and i kept thinking , ' no , you don ' t . back in england there ' s a little baby who you ' re going to find true love with in fifteen years !

firstly , there ' s another news blip about the bbc ' s new version of jane eyre with ruth wilson and toby stephens . apparently they bought some of their props from matlock
even though i am a janeite i have to admit i really enjoyed the latest version of jane eyre ( a two - part series starting on the abc on sunday at 8 . 30pm ) . it was gripping , powerful and intense . ruth wilson won a bafta nomination as the doe - eyed jane eyre while toby stephens smoulders as the complex mr rochester .
timothy dalton is best known as james bond , and some fans complain that he is too handsome for the role ( although , maybe “complain” is the wrong word ) . “martisco” believes that dalton “gives a very dynamic performance and has tons of charisma and passion . ” the poster “mamascara” adds : “i love when he calls her janet , just as in the book . that never happened in the 2006 [ version ] . and the woman who plays jane is small and elf - like , as in the book . dalton overflows with passion for jane” ( “jane eyre 1983” ) .
kayla notes that only a few of bronte’s contemporaries understood how radical jane eyre was . conservative elizabeth rigby did and accordingly hated the novel , calling it unfeminine , unchristian , and chartist ( which is to say , communist ) . kayla believes that rigby , a successful journalist , feared that jane eyre would expose her own unfeminine ambitions and perhaps her own repressed anger .
i really like what she says about the film getting jane ' s age right . jane ' s youth really does come through in the film .

whether it ' s pride and prejudice , jane eyre , bridget jones ' s diary or any old mills and boon novel , the grist that feeds the fantasy mill is the same .

it is worthwhile to bring up jane eyre ’s impact in other forms of media besides film . jane eyre has a long history on the stage , and in 2000 , it had its broadway debut as a musical . jane eyre the musical features twenty songs , the music and lyrics by paul gordon and the book by john caird . marla schaffel and james barbour star in the original broadway cast ( “the musical” ) . the lyrics faithfully maintain a lot of the original text from the novel , and some of the songs give a special voice to the characters .
that said , in modern day it’s easy to overlook the 1983 bbc miniseries when you have toby stephens or michael fassbender to choose from . even i didn’t bother to watch it for a while . but i have since atoned for the error of my ways .
from sweeping shots of the english countryside through all seasons to intimate scenes in the recesses of the manor house , this adaptation of jane eyre shows off a richness american tv projects rarely attempt .
best jane eyre adaptation i ' ve seen ! actors portrayed the characters extremely well , close to the book with few changes , stunning scenery ( thornfield is absolutely gorgeous ) and . . .
kayla also leans on jody bower’s argument that jane eyre has an “aletis” or “wandering heroine” plot . this is in contrast with male quest plots , which have more clearly defined forward - trajectories .

also tonight , abc airs the first part ( episodes 1 and 2 ) of last year ' s big bbc costume drama , i . e . jane eyre . several newspapers publish alerts :
the 1983 miniseries was the first adaptation i saw , so i have a particular fondness for it . almost five and a half hours long , it is probably the most faithful version that exists , preserving brontë’s original text in most of the dialogue . jane’s experiences before and after her time at thornfield , which are usually the ones severely condensed in adaptations , remain almost in full . thus , viewers see the child jane’s meetings with the apothecary and mr . brocklehurst , the servant bessie visiting jane at lowood school , and jane’s wanderings on the moors before reaching moor house .
i haven ' t seen the charlton heston version and i ' ve seen only short clips of the 1934 one . i also enjoy the 1973 and zefferelli versions although my favorite has to be 2011 , followed closely by 2006 . thanks for reading and commenting !
i read the book as an adolescent , re - read it as an adult and gathered the adaptations ( 1996 , 2006 and 2011 ) during time . but it ' s like a thirst that can ' t be over , i need to see more .
the 2006 four - part miniseries brought a lot of buzz and excitement to eyreaholics . here was a masterpiece theatre production with lush sets and scenery , richly detailed costumes , and a slightly modern flavor to the classic story . the series opened with young jane , played by georgie henley [ lucy pevensie in the chronicles of narnia ] , walking alone through a vast desert . the film then shows jane hidden in her window seat , engrossed in a book so much that she seems to enter different worlds . this was a memorable and creative way to start off the new adaptation , suggesting to the audience that there may be some surprises and changes along the way . additionally , the viewer becomes privy to jane’s inner world , much like it is in the novel .
well , that about wraps it up ! if i haven’t convinced you yet to watch the 1983 adaptation , let me point out i think timothy dalton is every bit as good as toby stephens from the 2006 miniseries ( which i never thought i’d say ) , and perhaps even a little bit closer to the character in the book . while toby plays off the sarcasm with great skill ( with no two actors having matched the chemistry between him and ruth wilson ) , dalton understands how to capture the true essence of a byronic .
this mini - series is a critically acclaimed adaptation of bronte ' s jane eyre . it was nominated for several awards in 2007 - 2008 , including bafta tv awards , awards from the broadcasting press guild , satellite awards , primetime emmy awards , and a golden globe award . in 2007 , the mini - series won a bafta tv award and three primetime emmy awards for outstanding art direction , outstanding costumes , and outstanding hairstyling for a miniseries or a movie .
