Critics describe most successful thrillers as being "Hitchcockian." By this they mean that the film is well plotted, acted and shot. However modern "Hitchcockian" films, while aping the careful pacing and suspense of Hitchcock, lack his ability to compellingly portray human vulnerability and obsession. "Sur Mes Levres," however truly deserves the adjective–the real suspense in the film comes from emotional ambiguity between the leads, not just careful storytelling.

Understated, yet passionate, like Jane Eyre herself.

An ethereal and heartbreaking work from Mark Romanek. An unstudied and well acted science fiction romance that takes the premise of the film to its unnatural and impressive conclusion.
