Jane Eyre flees Thornfield House, the vast and isolated estate where she works as a governess for Adele, a child under the custody of Thornfield’s brooding master, Edward Rochester. As Jane looks back upon the tumultuous events that led to her escape, from her childhood as an orphan to her education at the cruel charity school to which she was consigned, she realizes that she must return to Thornfield – to secure her own future, and to come to terms with the terrible secret Rochester had hoped to hide from her forever. Starring Judi Dench

Another Year
10/03/12


Mike Leigh’s latest thoughtful, delicately crafted and often moving film explores the lives of a contented couple in their early sixties and their rather less than contented friends and family. Happily married Gerri and Tom soak up the grudges and grievances of Tom's brother Ronnie and their friends Ken and Mary whose mistakes, anger and fragility provide the drama and pathos of the film. Leigh directs with a lightness of touch that makes the smallest of dramas seem all the more powerful. The cast are uniformly excellent, they inhabit rather than portray the characters, helping make the film even more convincing and engaging.
