The Place Theatre, Bedford

"an enthralling, animalistic drama "

Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights is an excitingly fresh and distinct take on the classic novel by Emily Brontë. An epic love story that spans childhood well into the young adult years, the film follows Heathcliff, a boy taken in by a benevolent Yorkshire farmer, Earnshaw.
Living in Earnshaw's home, Heathcliff develops a passionate relationship with the farmer's teenage daughter, Catherine, inspiring the envy and mistrust of his son, Hindley.
When Earnshaw passes away, the now-grown characters must finally confront the intense feelings and rivalries that have built up throughout their years together.

"Cuts beneath the romantic accretion of decades of movie and TV adaptations to penetrate the dark heathen heart of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel."

Adapted for the screen by Andrea Arnold and Olivia Hetreed, Wuthering Heights is a story of unrequited love.
A beautiful tale of obsession and devotion, Academy Award Winner Arnold reinvigorates this classic story with her sumptuous minimalist style.

"Arnold's film reinvents Brontë's 1847 tragedy as if it had never been filmed before, from the damp ground up."
