Additional InformationIn this austere adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 1895 novel JUDE THE OBSCURE, an intelligent young British man falls prey to romance, oppressive social conventions, and unspeakable tragedy in his unsanctioned relationship with his cousin. JUDE is a tragic romance, well acted by Kate Winslet (TITANIC), Rachel Griffiths (HILARY AND JACKIE), and Christopher Eccleston (ELIZABETH) and wonderfully directed by Michael Winterbottom (WELCOME TO SARAJEVO).
ReviewsLos Angeles Times - The dark, steel engraving look that cinematographer Eduardo Serra has given Jude endows it with a somber magnificence., Variety - ...Kate Winslet adds luster and energy to JUDE....The actress is the motor and emotional center of the movie..., Sight and Sound - ...A heartrending piece of work....[Winslet is] outstanding..., Entertainment Weekly - "...[Eccleston gives an] extraordinary performance....A fine atmosphere of dank misery..." -- Rating: B
