Wow. I finished Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights (2011) last night. This version WENT there truly. And the end! The embracing of Cathy's corpse. The desperate attempt to dig up Cathy's grave and then the suggestion of her ghost stopping him... James Howson 💔💔💔💔. And the fact that there was no music- the soundtrack was just literally the "wuthering" wind, the rain, the storms, and the only song being that Christmas song that is from a distance while Heathcliff is locked up as a child. It was so understated, brutal and harsh and evocative and it will stay with me a long time. Sad there wasn’t a part 2 but I appreciated the nods to part 2 with Hareton at the end. They even did the puppy thing and it was harrowing and yet it showed so completely how Heathcliff was shaped by his abuse. Also I LOVED young Cathy and Heathcliff. Heartbreaking and absolutely amazing.
