About this product

Product Information

Emily Bronte's classic romance is given an austere, naturalistic interpretation in this adaptation from filmmaker Andrea Arnold, which strips the story of much of its dialogue and adds a racial component to the tale of forbidden love. Yorkshire landowner Mr. Earnshaw (Paul Hilton) brings a West Indian boy (Solomon Glave) to live on his property and earn his keep working on Earnshaw's farm, naming the youth Heathcliff. While Heathcliff is regarded with deep suspicion by Earnshaw's son Hindley (Lee Shaw), he strikes up a friendship with Earnshaw's daughter Catherine (Shannon Beer) that grows stronger with time. After the death of Mr. Earnshaw, Hindley takes control of the farm, and Heathcliff chafes under Hindley's vicious treatment, running off to make his own way. In time, Catherine (now played by Kaya Scodelario) grows into a beautiful woman, and Edgar Linton (James Northcote), the son of a wealthy man, asks for her hand in marriage. Hindley approves of the match, but Catherine is torn when Heathcliff returns (now played by James Howson) as a self-made man. The affection Catherine and Heathcliff knew in their youth has grown into something deeper, but she isn't sure if she can defy her family in the name of love. WUTHERING HEIGHTS received its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

  • Don't miss this version of "Wuthering Heights."

    This is one of the very great classic films starring Sir Laurence Olivier as "Heathcliff" and Merle Oberon as "Cathy," with David Niven and Geraldine Fitzgerald in the supporting cast, directed by William Wyler. The score by Alfred Newman is lush, beautiful and haunting. The black and white cinematography won an Oscar. The film was nominated for 8 Oscars in all, and was voted "Best Picture" in by the "London Film Critics," and this was in 1939, the year when some of the very best pictures were made. It is pure romance and I couldn't recommend it more.

  • I recommend it to those who, as I, wanted to revisit the classics.

    I bought a few classic movies in order to look back in time. I like this one as it has a lot of good photography, Secondary to Heathcliff being a total narcissist he ruined both of their lives.

  • Superb DVD and Movie

    The DVD is in fine condition. The movie is one of the great classics of all time, and I am grateful to have it. The dramatic development is compelling. Heathcliff is one of the most intriguing characters in the world of fiction, and this movie, with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, is an excellent adaptation of the novel.
