Wuthering Heights

Fennell's raw vision of Wuthering Heights

Emerald Fennell breathes new life into Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights with a raw, uninhibited vision of lust and longing. At the heart of the film are Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden bond grows from smoldering attraction to unstoppable passion in a tale where love is as intoxicating as it is destructive. Fennell doesn’t romanticize this relationship, instead emphasizing its physicality and intensity, a place where desire both draws and wounds. Bringing a contemporary, electrifying charge, Charli XCX delivers an original score that amplifies the story’s feverish eroticism and Gothic emotional power. Wuthering Heights isn’t a classic love story, but lust on film.
