2007-01-19 00:00:00

Charlotte Bronte's most famous orphan, "Jane Eyre," gets one of its most sensual treatments yet over the next two Sundays on "Masterpiece Theatre" (9 p.m. EST, PBS), but four hours is a lot to dedicate to a well-worn classic whose melodrama too often...

'Dark Blue World': War and Uneasy Peace

2001-12-28 00:00:00

The Czech Republic's formidable father-and-son filmmaking team of director Jan Sverak and his father Zdenek--a veteran actor and screenwriter, whose endearing "Kolya" won the foreign-language film Oscar in 1997--has returned with a sweeping, classic-style...

Movie review, 'Dark Blue World'

2002-01-24 00:00:00
