Wuthering Heights

Met Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Hong Chau UK/US – 2026 – DCP – 136′ (VO) English spoken, Dutch/French subtitled The film starts at 8:00 pm In her adaptation of Wuthering Heights, Emerald Fennell chooses a distinctly stylistic and psychological re-reading, in which desire, power, and self-destruction are central. Where previous adaptations emphasized raw nature and social exclusion, Fennell shifts the focus to the toxic dynamics of obsessive love and the performativity of class and gender. Haar Heathcliff is not a mere outsider, but a figure who becomes aware of his position and manipulates it. His relationship with Cathy gets a sharper edge: seductive, but permeated with control and mutual destruction. Cathy herself is less a victim of circumstances than an accomplice to her own downfall, trapped between desire and social ambition. Dialogue and image are used to build tension between what is shown and what is simmering beneath the surface. Glances, silences, and carefully staged moments betray more than words. The film breathes a sense of controlled excess: emotions are not suppressed, but magnified until they become almost unbearable. This version of Wuthering Heights is not a subdued tragedy, but a biting dissection of desire and social masks. Fennell shows a world in which love does not purify, but corrupts — and in which beauty is never separate from something disturbing.
