Wide Sargasso Sea
1993, English. Directed by John Duigan.
The sensual film based on the acclaimed novel by Jean Rhys.
In the wake of Jamaican emancipation, French colonist Annette Cosway falls into poverty and marries racist Englishman Paul Mason.

Soon Antoinette learns she must marry to claim her inheritance and sets her sights on Rochester, an Englishman eerily similar to Mason.
