Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

Hercule Poirot is forced by circumstances to solve the mystery of a murder committed on the train he is traveling on.

'Murder on the Orient Express' is a new and modern adaptation of Agatha Christie's famous novel. Apart from the modern air (here we mean the observable technology proved by the perfect picture and the color and cinematography in general), the current adaptation does not bring much more than the old ones, except that once again, an impressive and different team of well established artists have gathered to bring the movie to life.

Director:  Kenneth Branagh  

With: Kenneth Branagh, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Depp, Lucy Boynton

Rating: 7.5/10

Jane Eyre (2011)

A treia ecranizare dupa cea din 1943 cu Joan Fontaine si Orson Welles si cea din 1996 cu Charlotte Gainsbourg si William Hurt pe care mi-e dat sa o vad si totusi cea care mi-a placut cel mai mult. Inteligenta si subtilitatea dialogului, interpretarile prestante si amplificarea misticitatii legaturii printr-o usoara exagerare supranaturala dau acestei versiuni un farmec aparte si ma fac sa o plasez deasupra celorlalte doua mult mai axate pe fapte si realitati evidente.

Regie: Cary Fukunaga 
Scenariu: Charlotte Brontë (roman), Moira Buffini

Cu: Mia Wasikowska, Michael Fassbender, Judi Dench, Jamie Bell, Sally Hawkins, Holliday Grainger, Simon McBurney
