Academy Award winner Andrea Arnold directs this raw and unique adaptation of Emily Bronte's WUTHERING HEIGHTS. Kaya Scodelario (SKINS) stars as Catherine, with James Howson as her Heathcliff; marking the first time a black actor has portrayed the role. Adopted into the wealthy Earnshaw family, Heathcliff forms a powerful romantic bond with his new stepsister Cathy. When he returns to the moors years later to find her married, his realisation that he can never be with his one true soul mate has tragic consequences.Review: Arrestingly shot in natural light, with no soundtrack, the moors have never seemed more alien or bleak and this does stay with you. (Daily Express 2012-02-10 09:37:00). I'd say this astonishing adaptation of Wuthering Heights was one of the most impressive costume dramas I've seen in years. (Daily Telegraph 2012-02-10 09:37:00). An astonishing-looking adaptation that captures the setting of the book, and its darkness, wonderfully. (Empire Magazine 2012-02-10 09:36:00). The film gave me something I never expect to get from any classic literary adaptation: the shock of the new. (Guardian UK 2012-02-10 09:37:00). The film is by no means negligible. (Observer 2012-02-10 09:37:00). Deserves a lot of credit for approaching sacred source material in such a radical form. (Scotsman 2012-02-10 09:37:00). This is definitely a film to watch. (Sky Movies 2012-02-10 09:37:00). There's something satisfyingly jolting about the way Arnold makes Bront63 her own. (Total Film 2012-02-10 09:36:00).
