How many
film versions have I seen? How many times have I read the novel? Who can count?
Margot
Robbie as Cathy? Interesting.
The
reviews are almost unanimously harshly negative and I can agree that there are
problems. First of all, everyone except Robbie and Elodi as Heathcliff, and he’s
too pretty, are miscast. Particularly Latif as Edgar and Clunes as the father.
Great
freedom has been taken with the story, especially the erotic additions, which,
to be honest, lurk throughout the entire novel, albeit far from implicitly.
The
novel’s great and tragic passion is there, though, and the visuals are
spectacular.
Flawed, yes, but quite brilliant.
4* of 5
