Movie Haiku:Zeffirelli's lush 112 minute high wire act is our favorite adaptation of this Victorian classic--balancing commitment to Bronte's 400 page plot with excellent chemistry between leads Gainsbourg & Hurt. Young orphan Jane (Paquin) survives miserable childhood to become the governess in a huge gothic mansion hiding horrible secrets.
