Wuthering Heights x2
2 Episodes
As the latest screen adaptation of “Wuthering Heights” makes its way to theaters in time for Valentine’s Day, revisit two strikingly different cinematic visions of Emily Brontë’s immortal tale of tempestuous, star-crossed love that stretches beyond the bounds of time. Starring Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier, William Wyler’s sweeping 1939 version—with its exquisitely moody black-and-white cinematography—remains a paragon of classic Hollywood craftsmanship, while Andrea Arnold’s 2011 postmodern triumph roils with a raw, visceral intensity, charged with youthful desire and violent obsession.
