From British filmmaker Andrea Arnold, Wuthering Heights is an epic love story spanning childhood well into the young adult years, the film follows Heathcliff (in Arnold’s version, a black boy), who is taken in by a Yorkshire farmer, Earnshaw. Living in Earnshaw’s home on the windswept moors, Heathcliff develops a passionate relationship with the farmer’s teenage daughter, Cathy, 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.

Under all the characters’ moods, for those pictures of the passions that he may desire to sketch for our public benefit this movie is really exhilarating in many aspects. For instance, there are facts such as racial discrimination, rather than that of class is the key factor in Arnold’s story, with Heathcliff portrayed as black of African descent. However, love with savage romance is the main ingredient in this story. It is highly recommended for those who love tragedy, romance and pain in love!
