# Jane Eyre (1996)

1996 · 112 min · Drama, Romance · United Kingdom, France, Italy, United States


## Synopsis

Jane Eyre is a 1996 romantic drama film adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel Jane Eyre. This Hollywood version, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, is similar to the original novel, although it compresses and eliminates most of the plot in the last quarter of the book to condense it into a two-hour film.
