Wuthering Hights….I love it. I’m talking about the book by Emily Bronte that was assigned to us to read in High school. It was intense, rough and ragged, full of passion and brutality and love. It’s always been a favorite of mine. The film by Andrea Arnold is an excellent adaptation. It is dreamy and immediately captures the beauty and wildness of the house in the hights. She manages to make it both tender and brutal with close ups where the camera lingers so close to our characters that it feels like we can touch them. I think the casting, the sparse sharp dialogue and the location natural filming made for an amazing rich tapestry.
