A bold and original reinterpretation of the all-consuming, destructive passion between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphan taken in by her father. Their forbidden, intense fervor soon derails into a compelling story that weaves together sensuality, desire, and madness, resulting in the downfall of two families on the windy moors of Yorkshire.
'Wuthering Heights' is an ancient classic in British literature. It is the only novel Emily Brontë ever published. She did so in 1847, under the pseudonym Ellis Bell.
Brontë tells the story of the impossible and destructive love between Catherine ('Cathy') Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Due to their difference in background, a relationship is impossible. Yet their passion cannot be tamed, with all the consequences that entails for themselves and those around them.
Love shows itself in 'Wuthering Heights' mainly from its least attractive side: that of obsession, destructiveness, revenge, and despair. Nearly 200 years and many film adaptations later, Brontë's universal story still speaks to the imagination.
De Britse director Emerald Fennell has reinterpreted the book into a passionate and stylized love story. For her 3rd film, she (just like with 'Promising young women' and 'Saltburn') wrote the screenplay herself and co-produced the film.
