Great Expectations (1998)

Directed by
Alfonso Cuarón

This modern adaptation of Dickens' classic coming of age story sees the young and naïve Finn (Ethan Hawke), who falls in love with Estella (Gwyneth Paltrow), a girl raised with the strict intention of breaking men's hearts.

Finn is a poor orphan living in a Florida fishing village who is haunted by memories of Estella, a young girl he knew as a child.

When he is grown up and living in New York, having become a successful painter, Estella reappears in his life and Finn falls deeply in love, knowing all the while that it is a feeling that can never be returned.
